From being likened to the &l;a href=&q;https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21588374-stuck-real-debt-crisis-its-back-yard-america-can-learn-europes-aegean&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;Greece of the Caribbean&l;/a&g;, due to a decades-long financial tailspin yielding an eye-watering $73 billion public debt burden, to a colonial backwater, which like Washington, D.C., has a political voice but no vote on Capitol Hill, resulting in an enormous and persistent &l;a href=&q;https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/21/us/puerto-rico-migration-data-invs/index.html&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;mass exodus&l;/a&g; of more than 600,000 people.

If so, what foundations need to be in place in order to achieve this vision?
