I want to see that Liberia ever becomes a U.S. State. Liberia was founded by the U.S. to allow African-Americans to live freely without slavery. But since Liberia is not a part of the U.S., Liberia never earned their share of the American liberation and whatnot. The people live very poor; the entire Country is in a big crisis. And since Liberia is such a small Country; founded by the U.S. and for the purpose of better living; very poor; very used to being poor, though certainly not satisfied about it, and dreaming for better, more like the U.S., an offer amount in exchange for making Liberia a U.S. State would be absolutely affordable for the U.S. as such an offer amount considerable to the U.S. would be an economic fortune for Liberia. Even business owners who have billions of dollars but not trillions, have spent not 1 billion, but several billion just on something like a hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Sure it's profitable, but so would a few billion dollars for a new State the size of Ohio. Better than another faraway State like Hawaii. Bigger too. Richard Garcia
