We ought to give Puerto Rico back to Spain

I just heard the governor of Puerto Rico babbling that the GOP sucks because they didn't do anything for them after the hurricane Maria hit.

Horse puckey!

We had ships arriving before the seas even settled down. Of course, the local longshoremen decided to take advantage of the situation and use it to negotiate a higher wage. 

Then there was the case of some of the politicos sitting on the relief supplies for some kind of mysterious reason. Could they have been selling or bartering these supplies? Could there be corruption in the governor's or mayor's offices? Really? You don't say!

I was personally in contact with a couple of people involved in the relief effort and both told me that the feds were getting the stuff in there faster than they did in Louisiana and Texas after their flooding which is quite a logistic feat.

Yet the Governor of Puerto Rico badmouths the GOP?

The truth of it is what good have the Puerto Ricans done the rest of us in the States? They have been nothing more or less than another worthless expense to the United States and don't seem to me to that they produce anything.

It also appears to me that a lot of the people they export to the states don't even bother to learn English which they should actually be speaking in Puerto Rico now. After all, we've owned the worthless little dependent island since 1898.

In short, we do just about everything that matters for Puerto Rico and they don't even pay federal income taxes.

The governor has a lot of balls griping about what we have or have not done for them since Maria. The truth is they don't even pay into the system. They have a lot of gall criticizing a system that has given them quite a lot even though they don't pay into it.

In short, Puerto Rico is complaining about a free lunch.
