I have no strong opinions about this, but I wonder if Puerto Rico becoming state 51 is now an inevitability. Puerto Ricans have consistently voted down statehood, and justified it by claiming that they have acceptable self-governance. This is clearly not true. It will be interesting to see what becomes of this territory and what happens in the near and long term with Puerto Rico overall.Puerto Rico can no longer make payments on its $73 billion in debt, according to Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla, who warns the island is perilously close to entering a "death spiral"
I don't have a lot of insights into the government of Puerto Rico - Anyone more qualified care to comment on this situation?
