President Donald Trump suggested that the government debt accumulated by bankrupt Puerto Rico would need to be wiped clean to help the island recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.
“We are going to work something out. We have to look at their whole debt structure,” Trump said during an interview on Fox News Tuesday. “You know they owe a lot of money to your friends on Wall Street. We’re gonna have to wipe that out. That’s gonna have to be - you know, you can say goodbye to that. I don’t know if it’s Goldman Sachs but whoever it is, you can wave good-bye to that.”
The bond prices dropped ~25% so far. The comment certainly mean something to bond holders. And since I believe markets are efficient, it indicates there is increased probability the bonds won't be paid off.
In trading Wednesday, benchmark Puerto Rican general obligation bonds maturing in 2035 were at 32.75 cents on the dollar, down from roughly 44 cents late Tuesday.
Yeah, if only more people had voted for Hillary instead of crying about Bernie not getting the nomination we could have had a real POTUS instaed of this FUCKING MORON.
Hey, I was all about Bernie and would have gladly voted for him if he was up against Trump. And yeah, Hillary would have made a great POTUS. I don't suppose you've read her memoir, Turts? Most of the suckers who fell for the Russian propaganda still can't admit they were wrong...
Well, on the bright side, decent form on his shots. Looks like going to private school instead of 'Nam worked out well for the Orange Embarrassments' jumper
*goodgrief*
Clinton lost to Obama, Bernie then Trump. She was an awful candidate and always will be. The fact that she can not own up to her awfulness is a huge reason she is unelectable. She should apologize for sabotaging the primaries and retire to her millions of dollars and her loving, faithful husband.
Clinton and Trump are the same person. Trump just doesn't hide it as well as The Clintons do. She personally made millions putting deadheads in prison for LSD possesion . #F*ckhernow&4ever

ender, those bonds SHOULD be
from your article, ender:
Budget director Mick Mulvaney tried to explain Mr. Trump’s comments in a television interview Wednesday.
“I wouldn’t take it word for word with that,” Mr. Mulvaney told CNN.
ps, those bonds SHOULD be worthless. The bond investors took a bet that Puerto Rico could pay them back, they lost.
