Puerto Rico has imposed austerity for years at the behest of Wall Street vulture funds. Child poverty rose to ~60%, infrastructure failed, 100+ schools & hospitals closed, foreclosures rose 90% after 2008, median income hovered at $19,000 (compared to the $51K national average).

All we have to do is to cut our exorbitant military budget of 800 billion and Puerto Rico, as well all of America, would thrive. We are told that the budget is what it is in order to keep us safe. Someone needs to explain to me how Russia is just as safe as we are on 65 billion.

Tulsi, it's such a disappointment to see you join the ranks of immoral politicians seeking to profit from this disaster. You never once mention the systemic political corruption that has crippled Puerto Rico for years. Running for POTUS?pic.twitter.com/0RWUDJDOqu

so wall street ruined Puerto Rico, and the obvious answer is to give them 'additional relief'? 3.5 mil citizens, only 1 million work. Their economy is disgraceful and their local government inept and corrupt. But yes, ofc more federal dollars is your answer, because you have none

Maybe getting
@elonmusk a long term contract there would be a good solution. He has already been helping in PR, and is doing wonderful things with infrastructure here in the US and in Australia.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Get rid of the corruption in their top government and maybe you’ll more support. They caused most of their own agony long before the storms and now they are trying to make the rest of us clean up their mess. Put some proper oversight in place, then we’ll talk
