Ok, everyone knows I don’t favor neither Hillary nor Obama. Simply, my hopes are not with them. However, recently Bill Clinton visited Puerto Rico on Hillary’s behalf, and earned $250,000 from our politicians.
However, a point needs to be made. Whoever planned the tour for Bill Clinton is perhaps Hillary’s worst enemy. He was planned to visit Luis Lloréns Torres residential housing. It should be known that all of the people who live there are extremely poor, needless to say that it is a high crime area. Bill Clinton’s "three strikes and you’re out" policy not only meant that the criminal would lose his or her own liberty, but the ENTIRE family would have to move out of the residence and locate elsewhere. Guess what? Most of the victims of that policy in Puerto Rico were in Lloréns Torres.
Then, he was supposed to visit the "Asociación de Industriales", an association of industry investors in Puerto Rico. Well ... they deeply resent the fact that despite their advice, Clinton eliminated all the benefits of Section 936 in Puerto Rico. The members of the Asociación de Industriales suffered heavy losses as manufactures in Puerto Rico located elsewhere.
Following that unfortunate event, he was supposed to visit Barceloneta, the municipality that suffered most of Clinton’s elimination of Section 936. Its poverty rate increases as more manufacturing industries keep locating overseas.
What does Clinton promise? That if his wife becomes President, she will reinstate the benefits to attract more American capital to Puerto Rico. Of course, this is nothing less than deception. Everyone who looks at the global economy knows that to place such incentives to benefit Puerto Rico alone would go against the best interests of NAFTA and other free trade treaties with Latin American countries. The whole Neo-Liberal view of the economy, which Democrats endorse with some safeguards, states that countries should compete in attracting capital from a variety of sources. The only way Puerto Rico could do this is if eventually Congress gives it power to establish treaties world wide, contract those ships that we want, and establish commerce throughout the region, trade with the U.S., trade with European countries, trade with Asia, and so on. In other words, the only possible incentive for Puerto Ricans is to be able to have as much political and economic powers we can, either in the form of a sovereign free association with the U.S. (which is recognized by International Law), or independence. To hope that in our current status, Hillary or any candidate to the presidency will give us any incentives to attract American capital, is like waiting for Christ’s Second Coming: people always say it’s close, and he doesn’t arrive.

Hillary did nothing for us. I'm boricua living in NY where she was senator and I don't remember her doing anything for us. She lied about SCHIP lied about being against NAFTA, the lady is a liar. Esa tipa es la mas embustera del mundo. Ahora le quiere lavar el celebro a los boricuas. Esta tipa y el esposo son las gente mas corrupto en el mundo de politicas. They're the most corrupted people in politics. The have the politics controlled, the media, the newspapers or any source that tried to get them out of trouble.
Here's the real Clintons (los verdaderos Clinton):
