Issues Under Fire: Is it Time for Puerto Rico's Independence




Issues Under Fire show

Summary: At a time when the people of Puerto Rice found themselves at their lowest point in the island's history, they were belittled and berated by someone calling himself their president. Instead of embracing the islanders during their time of despair, they were told by "45" that "Puerto Rico was throwing America's budget out of whack". He let Puerto Ricans know how much Puerto Rico was costing the taxpayers. They were scolded for being in debt. They were reminded, that despite the total devastation, their infrastructure sucked before the hurricanes. It wasn't pretty.
