We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

What is the Trump Admin up to?

 ::whatgives::

Laying low in case a bill for statehood eeks through then veto it...or laying low and intending to sign such a mistake?

Being porked so often...expecting the bad and stupid result is too easy an exercise... ::unknowncomic::

They really don't have much to gain by being a state.   We will likely bail them out either way............

Stupid.

You want to fix that basket case?  I mean really fix it?  Make it a tax haven, zero federal or local taxes on business or personal anything...and let nature take its course.

I'd rather see it sink than shoot taxpayer money down a bottomless pit.  Same goes for the other basket cases we have that already call themselves states!
