Who to blame when the incompetence of the Trump administration runs up against the incompetence of the Puerto Rican government?
- stevenwoo 8y agoGenerally speaking, the federal emergency response is an adjunct to the state emergency response and is supposed to help fill gaps, so we can blame both for their parts. The extenuating circumstance of the debt crisis of Puerto Rico means there is a lot of federal oversight of the budget of Puerto Rico for decades, the subsidies we might see prop up states in a similar circumstance have been drying up for Puerto Rico over the same time period, but that blame can be extended over many sessions of Congress and administrations prior to Trump.
