What an uneducated opinion. The problem in PR was caused by the US government and its ability for government officials to get their way in selling their pensions to buy bonds. They pay taxes to the US economy and have 100% right to join the union. Enough of using PR.

Agree. But I wish the fate of PR was different. Wishing it was a self-sufficient, independent entity. The Philippines, Cuba might be poor, but sovereign.

-
Philippines and Cuba have fascist and communist leaders. Our Island has been depleted by the US government. It’s time for retribution. They need progress not poverty.
-
PR has benefitted as well as been hurt by their Territory status. Not acknowledging the corruption in the PR gov has helped to lead PR to the place they are now. Boricuas need to get up and restructure their govt and take responsibility for rebuilding it.

How about not! They don’t deserve the right to become a state. They just want to join the nation as a state to get bailed out.
-
Bailed from what’s caused by the US government. That’s a lie that’s repeated but not true. PR are taxpayers, are in the military and it’s being exploited by the US. Just look at the salary of most American government workers in PR exceeding even the norm in US. Educate yourself.

If things continue will states walk away?? Anything is possible lately

California and NY could survive on their own......not sure about the rest...

True. How many of west coast states and NY are looking at deals with other countries to go around Trumps tariffs. Nearly all Tariffs have been aimed at red states.
