Now that's a great idea. They can call themselves the "people's Republic of California " .

Really? I'd think they would be considering independence right now.
-
They cannot survive by themselves, they rely on benefits from the U.S. if not for U.S. they would sink.
-
They are and have been for decades part of the US already. They pay taxes, and are US citizens.
-
I'm aware they are a commonwealth of the U.S.
-
Well thats like saying without the US South Dakota would sink, or Delaware or many other states. They are the US

Right now is a Commonwealth but not sure what PR will do.
-
P.R. is lucky they receive benefits from the U.S. otherwise they would be no better than Haiti.
-
Puerto Rico gives the US billions more in revenue then the little in comparison they receive in "benefits".
-
How?
-
In the massive amounts of US companies, like the big pharmas. As in, Tylenol, Advil, etc. All the money all the fast food and Walmart makes.
-
Those companies are private & provide jobs, otherwise they would be in shambles .

Look, I can give you millions of reasons why our debt is mostly caused by the US, but that is very hard with less than 200 characters.

If you want Id be happy to give you more insight on the actual situation of my poor country and maybe shine a light on the misunderstandings
