Puerto Rico Has No Liquidity Problem, Governor Says

Posted by | Jul 2, 2015 | | 0 |

This is a special #throwbackthursday Bocaito, from last November when Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla went on Bloomberg to say Puerto Rico did not have a liquidity problem and that it could not default.

Yeah about that….

The best quote:

“We can see now that Puerto Rico is in a better shape than it was a year ago”
“There’s nothing to worry, we are paying our debts”
– Alejandro Garcia Padilla, November 2014

Now take a moment to cry because none of it was true.
