Puerto Rico’s Government Development Bank, the island’s primary fiscal agent, owes creditors $422 million on Monday, a payment Garcia Padilla has said the bank cannot afford. The looming default is part of a broader economic crisis in the Caribbean haven plagued by $70 billion in total debt, a shrinking population and a 45% poverty rate. http://fortune.com/2016/04/28/puerto-rico-governor-default-monday/ Hear me out, it looks bad, but if we wait a few more months bankruptcy courts would wipe most of the debt. Then we could use the island to make it a generic tourist/casino island for all the old people living in Florida. We would have to move some of the population to the states, but just ship them to iowa or nebraska or something. It will be win win, and a new star on the flag.

Hmm decent plan but needs a little tweaking. Instead let's make it a state, ship all the old people from Florida there, then sell it to the highest bidder along with all it's inhabitants whose citizenship is summarily revoked.

Can't we just merge it with an existing state? 51 is a stupid number of states to have, we'd have to add another 9 for this idea to make sense.

True, but we could always force Guam to join. Or make iraq a state, then cut it up into 9 pieces. Odd numbered star flag would really mess with OCD people though.

We in the US have a problem the Soviet Union never had: too many satellite states. We don't need more stars on the flag.

Puerto Rican women are loving dimes until they hit about 28. Then their diet catches up to them leaving them wider than they are tall. it is unfortunate.

Guam's happy not paying federal income tax and getting to bitch about not getting to vote for terrible presidential candidates.

They should try and reset the market aASAP. Then they should try and grab trader to put a coffee on. Then take prospector and dump some more coffee if needed.
