Pureto Rico Defaults - Who is next?

Post by voguy » 12-30-2015 08:34 PM

Puerto Rico's debt debacle could soon get a lot worse. The island's government must pay about $1 billion to its creditors on January 4 to avoid defaulting for the second time since August.

Even if it pays on time, Puerto Rico will still be saddled with a ton of debt, roughly $73 billion in total, according to Moody's.

No doubt Uncle Sugar will bail them out with money borrowed from China.

IN DEBT? NEED MONEY? NO PROBLEM!

Addressing national defaults will be a lot easier all thanks to the new and improved 'redistribution of wealth' mechanism devised by concerned leaders around the world: Saving the planet isn't just about global warming, it's about international solvency.
