Obama about to sign Puerto Rico debt bill
Where is Ragnar? I want to come join his crew.
It's time for Puerto Rico to change its name. It is no longer "Rico".
Does the burden of being a producer feel just a bit heavier today?

"The big ole' USA" (say that aloud with a deep voice) can really afford to be so magnanimous.
Never forget that Joe Biden smiled as he said that we can spend our way out of debt.
That was during our Commander-Of-Grief's first term.
Check out how well that has worked out now during the emperor's last year in office (if he does not declare martial law)~

...millions more socialists (Democrats) living in the US and eventually voting here!
It is always somebody else's money... Why is this our problem?
Since we are already in debt to the tune of 19 trillion dollars plus and borrowing from China for our governments own malfeasance, why must we be in the middle of this? Let Puerto Rico avoid the middle man and borrow directly from China...
The last people our government wants to support and represent is the taxpayer.

But Reid said he was voting for passage because Puerto Rico needed the help by Friday. "Otherwise we ... turn them over to the hedge funds and they will sue them to death," he said.
So sue them. If you are worried about them as citizens, then they should have all the rights and privileges as citizens, otherwise, shut up. How can they not be able to file BK like anyone else? Go fix your BK laws, idiots.
Thanks GOP! You just can't say no, can you?
Just bought yourselves another $50 billion in funding for your re-elections.
Yes, jb, I feel a little more 5cr3vved today.
PR would be a good place to banish all the looters.
They can bask in the sun and starve to death.
giving away producers' profits willy-nilly, buying votes. -- j

Of course, you could say they need to pay rent instead since they're not a very good live-in girlfriend, but I'm sure they'll come around and start washing the dishes...
No sarcasm from either of you ;)
Both Puerto Rico and the USA need to go on a financial diet like the Dave Ramsey every dollar plan. When the politicos start eating beans and rice, rice and beans, then I'll know that they are being responsible.
Love the beans and rice idea, jb. Make the POTUS take the subway to the golf course, too?
P.R. may very bad investments and bad laws to have wealthy land owners move down to P.R.. These regulations, laws and bond issues were so bad they are bankrupt, can't get out of them and are unable to pay the Wall Street Bankers back on the deal Wall St helped them set up!
Yet we are supposed to bail them out?
The them being P.R. and the Wall St Bankers AGAIN [remember 2008]
How dumb are we? Are we truly dumb enough to back Hillary Clinton to screw us again for 4 more years?
The answer comes the 1st Tuesday in November 2016, fingers crossed people
Read "Ending the Jihad" critically and get back to me.
"Atlas Shrugged" failed because of the script. Too bad. Great concepts, wonderful novel, bad script.
Both Gulf Wars failed because they addressed the symptoms of Islam instead of the cause. Great scripts, bad concepts.
I could have solved both problems. You need the right concept and a good script.
We're almost at the tipping off point of World War 3 and all anyone cares about is Clinton vs Trump. I'm interested in solving the actual problems, not in addressing the symptoms.
It can only be done by changing minds. Polemics don't change minds, they don't work. Drama works. Drama works on mirror neurons. It bypasses reason.
The Producers tried but, it's not over. We can still make a difference. We must because, everyone else is just scratching at the surface.
No. I was referring to something I posted here under "Philosophy" called Ending the Jihad.
It's rather long but, it takes a different approach. 1400 years of Jihad and reaction to Jihad should prove we're not going to stop Islam's violence by killing Muslims. My thesis is we make Islam uncool to the younger generation of Muslims. Young people are the same almost everywhere. They want to be in, be cool. In Muslim countries Jihad is cool. If we tell Islam's real story, maybe we can make it as uncool as both Judaism and Christianity have become here.
Check it out and let me know what you think. As ridiculously improbable as the story sounds, the beginnings of Islam, as I presented them are historical facts:

I think not. the cell phone and internet have permeated the Middle East and Indonesia, if not Southern Asia yet. Youth manage to keep ahead of the censors by using different platforms. Break a 2 hour movie into 2 minute videos and it'll get in to Iran and Saudi. The key is to audience test it as it's being made so, you can get the right reaction from young Muslims. The true story of Islam is so off-putting it could kill Islam as far as young people are concerned.
I don't think this has anything to do with economic systems (Jihadi's care naught for money), just spiritualism and conquest.
