Título: Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Economic Fiasco

Autor: ccarlos07

Descrição: Commonwealth supposed economic growth after the 1950's. Curiously, the economic reform did not hold since currently over 50% of Puerto Ricans receive federal subsidies and the real unemployment rate is over 20%. It was a facade to quiet United Nations protest of American colonial rule over the island. On December 2005 United States recognized Puerto Rico as a colony, the Commonwealth Party remains in denial, and the statehood party thinks statehood is viable (a fence between Mexico and USA reflects a denial of a Hispanic state.) Today, United Stated has greater respect for the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) than any other Puerto Rican institution. And yes, the living standards have increases but only as a necessity to project the island as a developing, non-colonial country and a "showcase of democracy." Puerto Rico became in effect a sequin cage.
