You would think America would give Puerto Rico long-term help to rebuild, but we won't! I see the bankers who hold Puerto Rico's debt are offering them more debt in the form of a loan that will make the bankers more money. If real aid from the rest of America was coming their "loan" would look stupid, but they know the real long-term help from the rest of America will be too little or nonexistent - just as any debt relief is nonexistent!

The net result will be an exodus of Puerto Rico, and why not? It has no future! Certainly, the schools will struggle to function for most of the next year. If I had children, I would get them out.

In the end, the territory cannot both rebuild and pay the debt. As the article says, "Gov. Ricardo Rossello warned several days ago that without more U.S. aid, the territory risks a mass migration that would impair its ability to recover."

Face it! Climate change migration has begun - aided by our economic system!!!!

Chalky Good article.

I agree that the current administration won't implement long term support for Puerto Rico. They can't vote and all but a few thousand are Hispanic or Latino.

An interesting dynamic will play out as a result of the alienation of Puerto Ricans by our president and our country's inattention to their rebuilding efforts ...See More

Long Time Lurker I lived in PR for 5 years. Actually, when I first logged onto T-Net, It was February 1998 using a dial up out of San Juan. It is sad that PR has not had the recognition, respect, and support to get through this emergency and the hope of assistance toward full recovery.
