Aída Chávez — Freedom Caucus Chair Warns Congress Not To “Bail Out” Puerto Rico

“It’s somebody’s money,” [House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark] Meadows told The Intercept after a House vote on the aid package this week.
“It’s different if you could just print money and it didn’t come out of my pocket or your pocket. It comes out of the American taxpayer’s pocket…
Where does this person think the money to pay taxes comes from if the state doesn't issue the currency first and only accepts its own currency in payment of obligations the state imposes?

Steny is on board too:

"Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking Democrat in the House, said he agrees.

“And what the president said, is that we need to make sure Puerto Rico is on a fiscally stable path,” Hoyer told reporters on Tuesday. “I agree with that, I don’t know exactly what he meant by that, but I agree with that, so that’s what we’ll try to do.”
