Trump to Puerto Rico.....You already owe too much money

[Flash]

[QUOT


It wouldn't destroy the rest of the economy, so you have to justify any bailout on humanitarian grounds, especially now.

Again, Trump just said it has to be dealt with.

Trump is bringing in emergency aid as he should. He just isn't going to put the entire island on welfare for the next 20 years like they would want him to do.

In itself, Puerto Rico has no mineral or industrial wealth. It's agricultural production cannot sustain the economy. It has two basic units of wealth; land and location. It could be a tropical paradise for travelers and that is were its real wealth lays. That might work well IF the Puerto Ricans were not so complacent about criminality.....just like in the US btw.

you cant even read your own links and you expect people to read that?

There should be consequences for being fiscal irresponsible. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Both Texas and Florida were in much better shape to handle hurricane disasters because they have conservative governors and legislatures. Puerto Rico is an island of welfare queens, kind of like Illinois who also is near bankruptcy.

`
I'm not excusing their legal debt. The main reason was "mismanagement" or in the colloquial; criminal activity. It happens here in the US all the time but in the case of Puerto Rico, it's affects were devastating. They don't owe that money to the US government, but to the wall street banking firms. To that extent, let the banks rots in hell.

We had no problems in bailing out the banks when they made bad investments

But when Puerto Rico does it? Too bad Senor

It was wrong when that asshole Obama bailed out the banks. All government transfers like that are wrong. Welfare, entitlements, subsidies and bailouts.

By the way Moon Bat. The filthy ass government put pressure on the banks to make bad loans with the Democrat sponsored CRA. You know, give credit to minorities for socal justice reasons. Another stupid Liberal program that almost bankrupted the country. Most Liberal programs end in disaster, don't they?

Where were the consequences when Trump declared bankruptcy six times and stiffed his creditors?

trump declared bankruptcy ?

Six times

odd, people have been saying that for a couple of years..

Snopes says only 4

Donald Trump's Bankruptcies

out of 515 businesses.

That comes out to less than 1%.

not a bad average

Does that somehow excuse it?

makes you, and others that bring it up, look like idiots.

Some folks who claim trump had six bankruptcies say that because when you Google "six trump bankruptcies" you get links that list the six bankruptcies. The old list was four but then two more were discovered and they added the four plus two and came up with the number six. For some reason, the trump supporters prefer the old list and like to ignore the other two.

I wouldn't have an issue with them going with some federal help in fixing and upgrading the infrastructure there, but it should come with some caveats designed to prevent the fiscal issues from happening again.

Where is the Clinton Foundation?

What does the Clinton Foundation have to do with what Trump said?

In case you haven't noticed, Clinton is not president.

Why is it when any other business files bankruptcy it is the business and not the owner? Lol
Somehow, this is different im sure.

Bank TARP took place before Obama was elected.

All government transfers like that are wrong.

Short term loans that were paid back at a big profit to the Treasury while saving the banking system were......wrong?

Yes, short term loans that were paid back at a big profit within a few years.
You think if we made similar short term loans to Puerto Rico that they'd be repaid in a few years?

President Trump's lack of empathy about Puerto Rico is staggering (opinion) - CNN

Trump tweeted on: "Much of the island was destroyed, with billions of dollars owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with."

So with 3.4 million people suffering without electricity, food, water, healthcare, our President is more concerned with their ability to pay back his Wall Street buddies

Can our President be more callous?

Obvious lie. Trump has never showed any lack of empathy. The proof is in the absolutely massive and unprecedented amount of humanitarian aid that Trump continues to send to Puerto Rico. Trump is their saviour who has sent them heros in a time of devastating crisis and Puerto Ricans will be ever grateful for Trump's quick and decisive action.

 

[rightwinger]

So Republicans....What happens to Puerto Rico's 3.4 million people when their economy collapses and there is no way for them to afford to rebuild?

As American citizens, they will probably be moving to a community near you. Unlike those nasty "Mooslims" that you ban from immigrating, there is nothing to prevent struggling Puerto Ricans from coming here

Been what, a week since the Hurricane hit Puerto Rico, and rw has already given up on any chance of it recovering.

Well...it works like this

Recovery takes money and outside investing. Trump is already making it clear that existing debt will impact that
So what happens?

Invest in rebuilding the Puerto Rican economy
or
Prepare for an influx of Puerto Ricans to the mainland taxing our social services

There are several stages to emergency relief:

The first is rescuing people and providing food, water and shelter....That is what is being done now

The second stage involves rebuilding public infrastructure including power, roads, water systems, schools

The third stage is helping people rebuild their homes and businesses to re-establish themselves


It is the second and third stages of recovery that are being threatened by a lack of credit. But the banks must be paid

 

[Nosmo King]

He has a good point.
They owe over a 100B dollars. Have defaulted. Half the pop is poor and they have like a 14% unemployment rate. Their economic future is bleak.
Not to mention, federal aid is unconstitutional.
Not to mention, Trump has done plenty for them. This fake news has been debunked 20 times since monday.
Go back to talking about Russia, dumbfuck

Trump filed bankruptcy a few times himself. He got a second chance to live in his deluxe apartment in the sky.

These are American citizens suffering a humanitarian crisis and you cite politics and economy?

If this is all there is to Conservative ideology, why on earth should anyone with a heart sign on to it?

what does trumps personal life have to do with this?
Why wouldnt i cite that? What trump makes sense. Maybe not from a bedwetting perspective..
What does conservative ideology have to do with me?

It's fine for Trump to go into economic collapse, but the citizens of Puerto Rico must suffer due to decisions they had no hand in?

Federal aid,is unconstitutional? Who other than a Conservative or an Anarchist would conceive of such nonsense?
