The problem in taking from Paul to pay Peter ...is that a large number of bondholders of Puerto Rico's $72 billion debt are themselves retirees or saving for retirement.... [One reporter] wrote that '30% of the debt is held by middle class Puerto Ricans ... Another 15% is held by other 'average Joe' Americans who invested in bond funds.' "
