    Guam is gone go through the same financial crises Puerto Rico is in now. Puerto Rico missed a $58 million bond payment so the Federal Government is stepping in. Guess our elected officials don't watch or read the new about what Greece is going through and Puerto Rico. This should be a warning to Guam and its elected officials. Come election we need to vote new people in and give them a chance to run the government. These old elected officials aren't cutting it anymore.

    Make the business community pay their fair share of taxes stop the tax breaks and let the tax paying middle class get ahead by giving them the relief. Our wealthy one percent pay less and our off island investors send their money away. Why should we be giving them the tax credits? Let's reverse the roles and help the people who actually need the help!

    The people should be concerned about this debt. It is unfortunate that a majority of our senators are puppets of a self serving administration. It is like the blind leading the blind, and when Rodriguez, Barnes, Resipicio, Morrison, McCreadie, and T. Ada (also to include Ray Tenorio), say "yes sir" to the front office, then we know that this debt problem is far from over. Unfortunately I don't see the rainbow at the end of this rain, anytime soon.

    there's 10 senators that voted their pay raises, 1st let get rid of them, then we will have cut off the head of the snake. then we start anew.

    After 30+ years of ignoring Guam politics, only to be rudely awaken to find a $2 Billion debt, I implore everyone to stay informed and get involved - don't wake up to find us bankrupted!

    When you have 99% of Gov Guam trying to justify their over inflated pay raise and adamant that they deserve it with the bloated retro payments made to themselves , there is no option but to borrow money , refinance and borrow again . They will gladly pass a law to spend money that has yet to materialize . We have Senators who voted for the massive spending and borrowing , we have a Governor who demands it and a Lt. Governor who holds Pom poms behind everything our Governor does . It's just pure "greed" , the public's welfare or any service will always come after their pockets are filled. Bibs Bankruptcy !

    Profligate spending and reckless borrowing are dangerous -- as our nearly bankrupt sister Territory has resulted in serious out-migration to the U.S. mainland from Puerto Rico.
