Another Donk Failure

Post by Baldy »

Bad news for the US' largest Welfare State.

Puerto Rico's Governor Says Debts are "Not Payable"
Puerto Rico’s governor, saying he needs to pull the island out of a “death spiral,” has concluded that the commonwealth cannot pay its roughly $72 billion in debts, an admission that will probably have wide-reaching financial repercussions.

The governor, Alejandro García Padilla, and senior members of his staff said in an interview last week that they would probably seek significant concessions from as many as all of the island’s creditors, which could include deferring some debt payments for as long as five years or extending the timetable for repayment.

“The debt is not payable,” Mr. García Padilla said. “There is no other option. I would love to have an easier option. This is not politics, this is math.”

It is a startling admission from the governor of an island of 3.6 million people, which has piled on more municipal bond debt per capita than any American state.

That's equivalent to $20,000 in credit card debt for every Puerto Rican. :shock:

I don't know, Chizz. OL FU gets right to the heart of it, as usual. Liberals love to spend other people's money. QED. What about that don't you get? Or are you expecting to be dazzled with pages of algorithms, graphs and charts?

Hippie is becoming an unabashed, knee-jerk, ideologic libtard.

Doesn't matter what proof he's provided...he'll spin and waltz and deflect and mock and attempt to discredit...

...yet never counters with researched facts.

NEVER

EVER
