what is going on in PUERTO RICO???

The GrossDomesticProduct figures of PUERTO RICO - yes Asociado libre de PUERTO RICO or the entire Commonwealth of PUERTO RICO - is now less LESS than the GrossDomesticProduct of the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - or REPUBLICA DOMINICANA!!! THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT IS A MEASURE OF A COUNTRY'S ECONOMIC OUTPUT. IT IS THE MARKET VALUE OF ALL GOODS AND SERVICES MADE WITHIN THE BORDERS OF A COUNTRY. IT THE GDP IS LINKED WITH THE STANDARD OF LIVING. PUERTO RICO in the early 1970's led all Carribean nations/countries/islands in GDP and productivity - what has happened??? The economy on the isla de PUERTO RICO is in 'disaster mode'!!! There are more people on welfare/assistance than working/employed. There are approximately 4million people in PUERTO RICO - 50% of the girls/women are pregnant or have had babies without husbands and we the citizens of Estados Unidos are paying for their welfare/child care - and their lack of education for being productive members of society besides contributing to the 'death spiral' of PUERTO RICO's economic future!!!
