Our theme for today is Puerto Rico, and to bring us two very different takes on the matter, Erin talks to Alex Daley, the senior editor at Casey's Extraordinary Technology, and Cate Long, the brains behind the blog Muniland.

Cate Long, on the other hand, believes Puerto Rico has some serious problems. For example, the island's troubled financial situation might force the government to raise taxes anyway. Take a look on their points of view.
