Jorge L. Rodríguez, founder and president of the Institute for Economic Liberty (ILE by its name in Spanish), traveled to Washington, D.C. to present an update of the report From NAP to SNAP: A Bridge to Economic Liberty for Residents of Puerto Rico, published by ILE last year. The report presents the characteristics and operation of the federal government’s block grant currently received by the Island, for nutrition assistance, and compares and contrasts its limitations with the benefits of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Puerto Rico "is not a country that generates admiration" politically and economically.

"That's bad, it's mediocre. Consequently, there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of corruption, rule of law, efficiency of public spending and the effectiveness of the judiciary. (Puerto Rico) has the problem of a very large government and inflexible labor regimes, so there are several issues there that Puerto Rico needs to improve on the economic liberty indicators," Kaiser said.
