text: I too appreciate comments like your's  publicly revealing the inability to logically discuss and grasp higher-level concepts.  Your Ad hominem attack on 'Trump fans' is considered by every philosopher as the exhausted endpoint of debate.  Or, a childish rebuttal. Humanitarian aid has no connection to providing further financial aid targeted for rebuilding the infrastructure that Puerto Rico has let decay over decades.  Puerto Rico is a territory, one that only in June just voted to become a state.  Prior to declaring bankruptcy in May of this year, they previously voted 4 separate times to not join the United States and to not pay individual income tax.  It is particularly notable that this last June's election occurred roughly one month after their bankruptcy filing.  Until Puerto Rico cleans up their financial books & establishes a pathway to solvency, the current 50 states must consider whether it is humanitarian for the taxpayers to spend money rebuilding Puerto Rico.
