fact 1 - under obamacare your health insurance is subsidized if you make up to 4x the poverty level

fact 2 - puerto ricans gdp is 27k - well below this level

fact 3 - adding 3 million more people to the rolls will bankrupt us

therefore making puerto rico a state is economic suicide

since our economy is the most important thing

it would be stomping on the gas pedal as we accelerate into 3rd world nation status



does anyone care to have a debate about this?

(without having to resort to playing the race card)

"Puerto Rico is the only high-income industrialized economy in Latin America,[18] and has a per capita income on the same level as those of Spain and Portugal. Amounting to $26,588 in 2010, according to statistics from Government Development Bank (GDB) of Puerto Rico, its GDP per capita is the highest in the Caribbean, exceeding both Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago, and globally is on par with industrialized economies like Israel, Greece, Portugal, New Zealand and Brunei."
