And so, for the third year in a row, our thoughtful and wise Congress [gag!] has decided that the Leftist politicians that dominate Puerto Rican seats of authority and all their ill-bred policies that steal from bondholders to give to the union cronies in a severely broken pension system, deserve to be saved once again using the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA).
While both Democrats and Republicans assure us that this is not a bailout bill, they are lying through their teeth. The Democrats cannot help Puerto Rico anymore because of the runaway spending of a remote location that has little or no oversight in so far as fiscal responsibility is concerned and the Republicans are still reacting to the consultants from 2012 who said that we couldn’t win the presidency without the Hispanic vote. Because they still buy into this disproven theory, they decided that a Puerto Rican bailout was the right thing to do.
With many issues that are incredible to see repeated year after year, we have a chance to see our Grand Old Party’s wisdom in full operation as the Puerto Rican officials beg for $94M this year from the feds, only to turn around and hand out a very generous “Christmas bonus” to government employees in excess of $100M!

Do not release the rest of the funds for Puerto Rico., Jail these politicians..
The money pool should dry up…..
He gave probably 1st responders, etc and then local organizers, etc who have probably been working essentially nonstop for weeks a bonus so that maybe they can rebuild their own and take care of their own.
FK PR!!!!!
Want money best learn how to use it.
No statehood boys
WTF go to hell
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!! ALL FUNDING SHOULD BE CUT OFF!!!
So if I want to give $113 million in xmas bonuses to my employees in the middle of one of the most horrific disasters on record leaving people without food and shelter would you lend it to me? You’re an idiot
No more funds to Puerto Rico as they waste everything we give them!
