Trump Administration Releases Puerto Rico Aid, With Strings Attached

Smart, the corruption in PR is out of control.

About time these conditions should be attached to financial aid on how money is spent. There has been no accountability in the past, thank you President Trump. Comments from a Tax Payer

All outgoing taxpayer monies should have financial controls on how the receiver of such monies will spend it and reports generated to support spending. There should be close scrutiny, accountability. It is after all taxpayer monies.

Smart, there is a lot of corruption there

dkahanerules The Dems will draft another article of impeachment- watch for it.

Like all aid then? Government doesn’t just send checks and say “do what you want with it”. Sometimes they say “if that Prosecutor isn’t fired by the time I leave, you’re not getting the billion dollars”. Conditioning the aid.

that's how appropriations and budgeting and funding works, it's not a big bucket of cash that can be spent on just anything, and you know that but are gonna print this drivel as news to pile on politically, ffs grow up

EXCELLENT!

Maybe it’s because they’ve spent all our taxpayer dollars irresponsibly thus far. 😏

All tax money given should always have strings. always

Daddy trump

Of course, he did, otherwise the corrupt scum PR politicians will steal all of it.

Because the stole all the food and water for there people..remember

If the Dems fail at this impeachment they could always pick this up and run with it.

Good

If we can’t trust Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 with baseball, than it makes total sense not to trust them with these $BILLIONS too. AlexCora

Hoping we learned our lesson after the last hurricane. Millions lined pockets of those who needed it the least.

Didn’t they piss away millions last time.

Good for POTUS45‼️ It’s our tax dollars he’s handing out to others and we are tired of seeing our money wasted! Best of luck to PuertoRico in its recovery from hurricanes and now earthquakes!

Much better than the Democrat kickback & corruption approach.

As they should

Sounds like a good idea given the corruption in PR.

Thank goodness some one will try to reign in the corruption on this island.

Like a thousand dollar released for every piece of dirt on democrat presidential candidates?

Good! getting tired of my tax money being wasted

Life is all right in America.

I would have too. Widespread corruption is well documented in PR. It's just very, very sad the ones that need the urgent $ to recover have been put in that position.

Racists gonna racist

Good. Place is still corrupt

I guess the death of a 13 year old finally tipped the scales. Sort of.

You mean the corrupt PR govt is being held accountable? AWESOME!

Good!

They prevented it from going to the Clinton Foundation

Ummm, that’s what he supposed to do before handing people our tax dollars

Good cause they squandered it last time!
