Puerto Rico doesn’t want reform

[longknife]

Why should it change decades of corruption and mismanagement just because a couple of hurricanes destroyed the infrastructure? Since when do Leftists let such minor things get in the way of their socialist goals?

the island’s economy will shrink by about 8% in 2018, according to a November forecast by the Economist Intelligence Unit.Puerto Rico’s economic mismanagement has been a roadmap for disaster for decades: A welfare state with huge numbers of government sinecures, while neglecting infrastructure.
What could go wrong, has. Two months later: Puerto Rico doesn’t have power, education or economy running again

Okay, let's look at that. The problem is, we've treated Puerto Rico like a colony since we annexed it in 1898. It wasn't like we gave them a lot of say in what their destiny was.

well, Donald filed bankrtuptcy 8 or 9 times.

Puerto Rico isn't allowed to.
