So it's ok for *some* people to repudiate their debts.

Puerto Rico has become a giant wart on our country's ass. As a taxpayer I'm tired of all these political bailouts. Time to start voting out our current politicians and get some new blood! $22 trillion in debt and they keep spending like the whores they are. Enough is enough!

Yeah’ can’t wait for Puerto Rico to be our 51st state.

The corruption in PR is off the charts.

PR is such a disaster. They'll never pay anyone back.
