Hurricane Corruption joined forces with Hurricane María in Puerto Rico. The manmade storm began in the 1990s, when US Attorney for Puerto Rico Guillermo Gil summarized the jaw-dropping theft of untold millions of public dollars by the Gov. Rosselló Administration this way: “Corruption has a name and it’s called the New Progressive Party.” The debt was compounded because of illegal multi-billion loans and spending on poorly concieved projects that resulted in the complete abandonment of the island’s infrastructure in order to pay back the loans with interest rates of 75 cents on the dollar. Gil sent many from the administration to prison, but the island’s health, education , publoc works and electrical grid was already in shambles.
Now Trump is going on Tuesday. Ay Dios mío. How many storms must Puerto Rico take?
