Their debt went from an already $43.5 billion in 2006 to over $70 billion. I am almost certain that the debt has increased since nearly three years ago. The Merchant Marine Act of 1920 increases prices on the island and makes goods produced in Puerto Rico passive compared to those coming from Caribbean nations that send goods on their own ships. .People with professional careers leave the country and come to American states in hopes of finding new jobs and maintaining steady income.
