Want to save Puerto Rico? Make it a U.S. state.

Though the debt crisis in Greece is eating up most of the media oxygen, a somewhat similar crisis is happening in Puerto Rico. They've got way too much debt, and have been struggling badly since the 2008 financial crisis. The situation has reached a breaking point, and Governor Alejandro Padilla has flatly admitted the island colony cannot pay in full.

Though it is an unlikely prospect, this is an area where the United States government can do some good. By proposing a referendum on statehood, and assisting with an orderly debt write-down, America can atone for past sins and put Puerto Rico back on an upward trajectory.

like Michigan..or California..or almost any american state right now facing the same problem as the 'Rico

like the america itself..the whole nation, dead broke and indebted to the hilt..way beyond any possibility of repayment.
