Warren on Puerto Rico: ‘Prime Example’ of Gov’t That Works for the Rich and Powerful and Not the People

‘Puerto Rico — right now has a government that is taking money off the island in order to send it to Wall Street’

EXCERPT:

WARREN: "So I’ve been talking about a Government in Washington that works great for the wealthy and the well-connected but not so much for everyone else. And I’ve been doing that for a long time. Puerto Rico is one of the prime examples of that. Right here in Puerto Rico, an island that’s been devastated both by a financial crisis and by twin hurricanes, right now has a Government that is taking money off the island in order to send it to Wall Street. And cutting services, health care services, schools right here in Puerto Rico. It’s just a prime example of Government that works for the rich and the powerful and doesn’t work for the people."
