Each year American tax payers send over $17 billion dollars to Puerto Rico in Welfare (social services) alone. These social services include food stamps, public housing (Los Caserios), and college tuition for Puerto Rican students attending American funded universities.

The latest alleged US healthcare dollars ripoff occurred in Puerto Rico, to the tune of $922,882.00. On May 1st, a grand jury returned a 27-count indictment charging four doctors and two other individuals with conspiracy, health care fraud, soliciting and receiving kickbacks in relation to the Medicare Program, false statements and forfeiture allegations. This is a drop in the mega bucket of wasted dollars.

You didn't say there was a revenue imbalance, you said "that they do not put one cent into the coffer".

I favor statehood. It would be in the best interests of both parties if PR has a greater stake in our country. Plus, they traditionally vote conservative (Republican or NPP).
 
Puerto Rico's negative drain on American tax coffers= 13 billion with a B. Not only do they contribute 0 into Federal coffers, they are like a big sucking drain~

Good sleuthing WM
 
And here I was thinking that Puerto Rico was going to be the first to help Obama reach that goal of 57 States, that he spoke about.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
