Quote	Now is the time to show Puerto Rico the way, not lead them down the path to destruction. No bailout. No bankruptcy protection. Make the hard choices. Revamp the entire system leaving nothing sacred. Then Puerto Rico would see investment capital flood their island followed by a horde of Americans looking for a safe, English-speaking, white sand beach experience.
