Well there is a bill before the US House to rescue Puerto Rico from its Progressive policies which has landed them in a form of debtors prison.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as “the Borinqueneers” in a flourishing ceremony. The Borinqueneers were a segregated Puerto Rican regiment that fought on the front lines for the U.S. between World War I and the Korean War.
The Army band played Puerto Rico’s anthem “La Borinqueña” as veterans waved Puerto Rico’s flag throughout the festivities.
Thoughts?
