I hope juanb has an opportunity to meet with the IMF delegation so he can inform them that the DR is broke and how he can fix the problem . After Harvard and MIT , these guys need to learn a different approach

We will wait and see what the IMF says ,,maybe they will suggest a few little things ,,but my guess is nothing too dramatic .

12days?.............. Will you or Will you not , Yes or NO thats all thats needed . A one day event. We don't want an explination to Why you don't want to adheir to the original contract, bytheway, what ever happened to the 1/2 a billion we lent you for the electric bill that was owed and still the debt lingers.


Isn't there a commision that will suppervise Leonels decisions. Everything he does is within closed doors or overseas..........

Littledick=hear no evil, see no evil, and if it involves LF, speak no evil.


You know, I wish I lived in the same DR that he lives in. Sounds like the land of milk and honey.

yes juanb, this country is much much better than you paint it ,,it is a country with many problems associated with a poorly educated population but if you care to look for all the good things rather than look for all the bad things, it makes life much more enjoyable

The Dominican Republic has paid a dear price for the receipt of these IMF Funds. Perpetual debt and slavery. The borrower is servant to the lender.

"neither journalists nor photojournalists were allowed access". The DR Govt has all their ducks in order to allow the US, BIS, IMF to "pull the plug" when the time is right for the structured, engineered world financial collapse when the Criminal crime syndicate in Washington, London & Basel decides the time is right. Look out! The deck of cards is about to come crumbling down.

I hope some people in high places might be reading these comments and realize that some of us know what kind of horrors these guys are perpetrating in secret. No longer are all the masses dumbed down, some of us are getting wise to their tricks of making money out of thin air, fractional reserve lending etc. I urge you who are reading this to watch THE MONEY MASTERS. There is one that is spanish subtitled. Go to Google click on videos, then type in the Money Masters and click and it will appear. It's over 3 hours long but will wake up anyone who may not know what's really going on behind the scenes.

imgenuine ..I am sure that any one in a reasonable position in the IMF or in the DR treasury would simply be scratching their heads in disbelief at all the economic advice and comments being handed out by juanb and BASTA ..
It does not take too much reading to understand that there are a group of writers here who can see no good in anything that is being done in the DR and I am sure that the IMF and Government economic team will take zero notice.

I am waiting for the date when the DR pays all its debt and creates a surplus.

Dear Boca de Chavon
I know that why should they? They are blinded by their own hubris. The point is that many people are waking up to their cancerous deeds. Again I urge you to watch the Money Masters documentary on Google video. Then if you are affected by it share it with someone else. The Dominican elite have committed many crimes against the placid friendly largely ignorant Dominican population. To me knowing their machinations helps me fight it personally in my own decision making process.
