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!

Not another thin dime.
Not a dime
Corruption is rampant. It can’t be cleaned up in 8 years. It is going to take a century.

NYS TAX PAYERS MONEY AT WORK
Don’t give them any!!! They all got big bonuses!! Let them use that money!!!
Hopping on my soapbox. We all need help sometimes and most times than not we let our pride get in the way of asking for help. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help. As humans, we are called to help others. When i see someone in need, i give them what they NEED. I don’t let myself get caught up in sad stories of woe. (We all have a story of woe we all don’t let it define us). This means if you need your utility paid to prevent it being turned off, i will help if i can. You need groceries? A meal . School stuff for the kids. A ride. Heck, i may have just gotten a blessing and be able to spring for a place to stay. A tank of gas? No huge deal. What i won’t give is $. Yeah. Not our place to judge your status in life or predetermine where you may or may not use cash that is given but, cash is not a need and i prefer to make sure i give what is asked for. Same for individuals. Should be the same for countries. Need supplies. Here it is. Need educators. Always someone willing. Need a CPA? Got it. But we shouldn’t be sending $. Especially when the countries with their mouth open and hand out have proven time and again they are perfectly happy spending other people’s money on themselves and not their people
