Trump Agrees to Pick Up 90 Percent of Puerto Rico Rebuilding Costs: Aide

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Thursday agreed to expand the use of disaster aid to rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid and other infrastructure wrecked by Hurricane Maria, a senior White House official told Reuters.

Under the plan, the federal government will pick up 90 percent of the costs – up from the typical level of 75 percent – and allow for funds to be released in a faster, more flexible way, an approach that recognizes the massive devastation on the island and its dire financial problems, the official said.

You think PR has financial problems... just wait until Trump is finished with the USA.

Judging by what Puerto Rico looked like before the storm, 90% of the rebuild cost will be roughly $4.18.

  PR didn't have a pot to pizz in before Maria and nothing will change after the US runs up more debt.

More taxpayer money down the rabbit hole. 

Is there any way the US can sell the place -- cheap?

   This just looks more and more like Haiti after the Earthquake, a black hole, it's in their DNA to keep electing such shitty politicians that allow the fleecing by corrupt individuals to continue.
   Sad that Cuba was probably the only success story in the Caribbean and that was back before Hoffa pissed off John's little brother Bobby.

Good for Trump.  Wait a minute, is this like Trump saying he was going to self-fund all the way to the White House?
