Roll the US Virgin Islands into "Puerto Rico" while we're at it.</quote> Puerto Rico is home to 3.5 million Americans, 45% of which are below the poverty line. And the US big concern is how many fewer tanks they're going to be able to buy a year if they help...</quote> Those 45% are largely irrelevant to PR itself getting its own budget in line. The better idea is to let PR default, then buy out the debt for pennies on the dollar. A betterer idea is to cut off aid to PR's government, remind the Puerto Ricans that they are US citizens and can relocate to the mainland at will, then just let what happens happen.</quote> ...
