and for good reason.
""After about a year of communication with federal officials, the White House confirmed yesterday that federal debt relief to Guam of more than $200 million is not possible.""

The Governors of Guam have swindled hundreds of millions of dollars and wasted it all on their own luxury lifestyles along with embezzled it into their own accounts.
The island has no water purification plants and has to buy it's freshwater from the military.
The islands phone company is government owned and like all other government operations....has wasted all of their money.
The Spanish didn't call Guam the 'Land of Thieves' for nothing when they first found the island.

She should be able to turn their economy around with some good land investments and playing the commodities market, just as she made money purely by shrewd investment as the wife of the Governor of Arkansas. [}:)]
