You're not thinking deep enough, Paulette. If 700 m is financial ruin, why wouldn't an extra 150 m help us out financially? You're not thinking like a senator (and forbid it that I would ever become one). I don't understand congressmen and I doubt if I ever will. But they want all the "sweeteners" they can get for their district. I don't have the answers to the problem but I would think just say no to some of those bankers and CEO's would go a long way toward helping the situation a lot.

I just fired off an email to my senator. I know I won't get a personal answer though. I thought we were in ruin because of the crooks that are running the financial institutions..... the ceo's, etc. So how is giving 192 millions dollars to the puerto rican rum industry gonna do that? The entire list of crapola will be online soon, I'm sure. paulette in sw fla usa........ where I'm looking forward to a cheaper bottle of rum!!!!
