Their internal government is similar to a state, but the problem is that


their indebtedness is handled as if they were another country. As a result, the commission appointed to manage the debt is putting the squeeze in the population with austerity measures. If they achieved statehood, my understanding is that some of that debt could be federalized, to say nothing of getting increased disability benefits, Medicaid funding, higher minimum wage protections and, of course, the ability to be represented in Congress and in the US electoral vote.

My opinion is that statehood would be the best option for them and for us.
