Remember all those Puerto Ricans that were furious at President Bush for the Navy's testing at Vieques? Al Sharpton flew down there, and everyone was protesting and blaming Bush for live fire testing that the military had been doing for decades. Clinton had promised to end testing, and Bush warned them that it might mean job losses for the island.
Now Fox News reports that Puerto Rico is whining about the Navy base closure. They are accusing the government and Navy of "economic revenge". I guess we are supposed to keep the base open, and just let everyone sit around doing nothing.

Dear USA,
Please continue to send large amounts of money, through salaries, welfare, Social Security etc.. Just don't ask us to work for it, or pay taxes. Just because you can't train in the area does not mean you can't maintain a lucrative base here.
Thanks,
Puerto Rico
