me. part of the u.s. has poverty and. if you go to your. diddy you look up how. hot. it will be. getting. i think i. was. paralyzed that public debt is sixty six billion euros i record in the history of

the united states. to its status as a free associated state the island doesn't have the same rights as other states that's why it's not allowed to declare bankruptcy. that's the paradox of put a rico its citizens are american but the territory is treated differently. by. anyone if it. doesn't. control the island's finances to pay. it's debts to american credit just.

a. good kid like the last it was going to. look at it was a thing it was a silly little. thing it was like a political belief i can. i buy twenty three and no longer receives a university scholarship. to complete studies she had to take out a six thousand dollars loan. i. was going to say. the same percentage of their cities and if i decide. to get. a second set i think. this was beginning to have a god i think it is likely as i look at. the public university isn't the only one affected by the austerity policy. fifty kilometers from the

capital oddly schools had to shut down in twenty forty and her aunt was a teacher though. she still has the keys to the school. ok now you're kidding i think not little kids will get. the old to say. and to solve it on my credit the sun doesn't ask them to get lost at sea and i'm. going. to go get into this. hole. that again you know how do you know of it i don't know i don't know a lot of these. couples a lot of what the beagle i don't know about. but

a creative ways to get better so. how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we do this do or don't like a video visitation i don't know what comes in anymore we don't have to sarge and many more is cost effective that's what they want to do that as long as they don't give a damn if. they're actually paying into. to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate. as the bridge what is behind such success.

thank. you young lecturer giovanni is handing out hot meals on the rio compass. there's a long line he hands out hundreds of meals every day and. we're . going to see that again with the end. of the program on him. going to be a lot of. the flamenco feel for him and.

also. ruth and adrian the two young activists here as well. again. and. really easy to have been able to put. up a lot of we haven't. really. this year ruth wasn't able to find a job she lives on three hundred fifty euros in public assistance. by. the chemical our society going to the moment. of going to think oh man. people will be in.

you know. a few hours later the city comes to a standstill. the island experiences a power outage. at the university. but if. you. think. the public electric company is the

business with the biggest debt in puerto rico. power outages have affected rural areas. even. without. ruth has lived in this fifteen square meter room with a roommate for a year it's the best solution of some one. just as high as in american cities.

bad. i'm a hard person from alaska. i mean honestly. i feel that. they're afraid that the power outage might last several days. a roommate want to buy food these are. still open thanks to a standby generator. that any. moment you know. you go. in puerto rico everything is more costly than in the u.s. on average twenty percent. enough.

to capitalize law requires that the. american ships. blessing for the u.s. much and navy which supplies percent of all food. without this law will put a rico could save a billion dollars a year. this year a new austerity measure was added. to settle its debts the island increased consumer tax.

seventy percent to put to rico's public debt is in american investment funds. which received tax benefits for the loans. and you action group has denounced the island's colossal debt for several months it speaks gun blames the us for much of it. seemed. cool. by guns initiative is seeking to cut the debt. it's trying to prove that it all came a belt illegally. in

the puerto rico prohibit me from the monitor and i know. that will be an important . resting on. one thing to see almost at this moment oh yes i remember. the dead be partially counseled. in the meantime the crisis is worsening. a few kilometers from the capital ruth was it's a grand. car but his ninety one lives in her house alone.

she's been a social worker her whole life. you know and fios for a pension the public pension fund does and to. be one of the not that i'm right. but i don't see it. and then but i mean but i also. believe in the role. that you're going to. be. most of comments children who fled the crisis by moving to the us. i think it's that enjoying. it. new york them being. going over to my k.f.c. going anywhere don't go.

but it was never going to make it but. i guess we have an idea. that i mean. yeah. yeah. that's you know. better and a very. heavy with. another guy may. be you could do. better i mean what the. man who went out. in an american passport is the last resort the thought ruth doesn't like a tall gentleman will say oh my god you know. what i know. either way

but i mean. we're going to gain a game where you. only a few shows who dream of independence. the american passports triumphs. more and more put a rican to leave the island actor is among them. he's waiting for his flight from some one airport. every day. two hundred put a recount migrate to the u.s. it's the greasers migration crisis in the island's history.

but what is gaining in a moment that you say are breaking but damaging both sides to its its new reality. the russian economy and the russian the financial system and i know a lot of people who are looking for creative ways to get better results.

in. piano ways. you know. it is. getting close to live near little me just look at somebody that come with us from. what i'm back.
