Puerto Rico Says Will Default Tomorrow, Begs Congress For Help

PR Governor Padilla has spoken...

*PUERTO RICO GOVERNOR SAYS WON'T PAY DEBT TOMORROW
*PUERTO RICO GOVERNOR SAYS ISLAND WON'T PAY DEBT MONDAY
*PUERTO RICO GOVERNOR: GOVERNMENT SIGNED MORATORIUM BILL YESTERD
*PUERTO RICO NEEDS DEAL W/ CREDITORS AND/OR CONGRESS: GARCIA

And of course, demands a bailout...

*PUERTO RICO GOVERNOR CALLS ON U.S. CONGRESS, PAUL RYAN FOR HELP

And then threatens...

*CRISIS WILL GET WORSE IF U.S. CONGRESS DOESN'T HELP: GARCIA
*PUERTO RICO GOVERNOR CONCLUDES REMARKS TO COMMONWEALTH




Yet another liberal shit-haven going tits up. Hooda thunk it?



Remember this from a few years ago...


"In 2010, the Social Security Administration awarded benefits in 63.4% of its initial decisions in Puerto Rico, compared with much lower rates elsewhere. In Arizona, for example, benefits were awarded in initial applications in 35.6% of the cases. Nine of the 10 top U.S. zip codes for workers collecting Social Security disability benefits are in Puerto Rico, according to government data."

Not one red cent. We're not the world's rich daddy. I like this stance about Trump.

Every haven is a liberal haven. That's why we have civilization because as places become civilized they become liberal. If they didn't there would be no progress.

Name a conservative city. It doesn't exist. Republicans only manage corn fields and vote with resentment towards those more fortunate.

funny thing is American liberals are not really liberal. they are statist, the opposite of liberal. the Constitution was designed to limit government power and maximize personal liberty and as such it is a classically liberal document. we should all seek to preserve these principles, which have made this the greatest country on earth. but it's easier to just offer people "free" stuff in exchange for political power and call it "liberalism".

Really? Well, all those places are shit holes but they seem like somewhat respectably populated places. Where did you get this list? If this is true I am impressed with your finding. I have to verify this information.

Seems like your list checks out. I guess these are the cities where Republicans were the only option to unseating Democratic Mayors.

If you look most of them have assumed office for very short periods. San Diego of course is one that stands out and the Republican Mayor has only been in office since March of 2014.

Never the less, they do exist. Quite rarely but they do. Their absence isn't absolute from cities at all times.

SD was Republican for decades up until 2010. Then the Democrat totally got caught up in some bullshit and the Republicans came right back in.

Thanks for going through the list. It's nice to know that at least someone on FFXU is fact checking.

Most of the larger cities are plagued with the negro-Democrat problem.

Gerry, some really well-run Democrat cities include:

Detroit, MI

Baltimore, MD

Flint, MI

Ferguson, MO

Camden, NJ

Bridgeport, CT

Gary, IN

Memphis, TN

East St. Louis, IL


Of course, I'd greatly appreciate if you could fact check those for us as well.

there isn't a country without debt dumb ass



infact - japan often was in deep "trouble" with too big to fail bailouts ... they used theses to build the likes of Samsung off the books (other countries do similar things, using gov central funds to boulster a strategic wealth private company)
