		<description><![CDATA[Puerto Rico will never be a state. Never!!! The United States would gain no advantage in converting P.R. into the fifty-first state. None!!! Just more liabilities. More burdens. Another headache. Furthermore, the majority of Americans are not necessarily ENTHUSIASTIC over PR becoming an integral part of the USA. Keep dreaming. If only the average American was privy to the amount of hard earned tax dollars that are transferred and wasted in their unincorporated commonwealth, independence would be granted immediately.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are not an empire. That said, Puerto Rico should become a state of the Union. Forcing the island to secede from the United States would only end up turning PR into a Communist totalitarian country controlled by Communist Cuba and its allies in Latin America. But of course, you sympathize with the radical left. Puerto Rico wants statehood and the federal government should welcome the island as a state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How dare anyone claim that Puerto Rico is &quot;a hole in the United States who has  shoved enough money down it&quot;.  For the record, the US Government injects $4.627 Billion per year in food stamps, Medicaid, government agencies, etc.,  while taking out 58.1 Billion in imports, profits from American corporations in Puerto Rico that do not stay in PR for re-investments, and the use of the US Merchant Marine monopoly.  Therefore, screw the notion that the US spoon-feeds Puerto Ricans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been reading about the Spanish American War.  &quot;Republican Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado proposed the Teller Amendment to ensure that the U.S. would not establish permanent control over Cuba after the war.&quot; -wiki/ &quot;Failures of American Presidents by Thomas Craughwell.

Why we did this for Puerto Rico and the Phillipines also, is a mystery.  The Phillipines already had a Congress and a  Constitution.  Commodore Dewey thought the Phillipines could take care of themselves.  For be it for politicians,  business interests or journalists to listen to a military man. 

It had to be because of the business interests and worrying that some other country would take it over.  Our greatest fault as a nation was taking over the Phillipines.  In that regard we did better than most every nation, but it is still a black mark. 

Everything we wanted could have been had by a Status of Forces Agreements &amp; trade treaties.

P.S. I don&#039;t think Craughwell mention that Teller was a Republican. Curious.]]></description>
