While LF says he and his transparent, pathologically corrupt government will steal 30% more.

So, in essence, the poor will stay poor and ill educated while the scum bag rich will continue to be amoral savages.

It seems to me that LF is doing a very good job except in the areas of law and order and that there are some people here who can not see a tree even when it is right in front of them

my daaughter did not see any tree when two IDIOTS jumped off their BIKES and put a gun in her FACE, so they could steal her CELL PHONE, HANDBAG,and her CHAIN she had.

While LF says he and his transparent, pathologically corrupt government will steal 30% more.

So, in essence, the poor will stay poor and ill educated while the scum bag rich will continue to be amoral savages SO SO TRUE.
u also know this pres could have spent the moeny for the METRO TOWARDS GETTING SOME REAL TEACHERS AND PUT SOME MONEY INTO GETTING THE YOUNG EDUCATED. WOULD HE HAVE NOT?

So, in essence, the poor will stay poor and ill educated while the scum bag rich will continue to be amoral savages

THE SCUM RICH U SPEAK ABOUT ITS WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED TO DO SO THEY CAN ALWAYS HAVE CHEAP LABOR WORKING FOR THEM IN THEIR BUSINESS EVEN IF ITS THE DRUG TRADE.
KEEP THEM AS SLAVES. and others on this site speak about kissing uncle sams ass.
only in la- la land.
WHERE NOTHING IS FOR REAL
SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

danny,
I wish your daughter would have pepper sprayed those idiots

Exactly. cheap labor.

That is truly disgusting.

What an entitled mentality.

LIttledick rushing to support LF again:

Only problem is with law and order? Open your eyes, stupid.

there are born losers everywhere but more than the average here .. well, it is a site perfect for malcontents who can not accept economic progress in the DR and who spend their time doing nothing except whining ,,there are opportunities for most who really want to join the economic progress .

If LF stands as President again , he will sweep in to power again and yet the normal grumbling group here will somehow say that the voters are wrong yet again and they are right

Hey dopey, the constitution says he can't run again. Hate to bother your drivel with bs abstractions like truth and YES I know you don't care if that despot tramples on the constitution of this country but others may.

escott you obviously have not read the various opinions that the changes in the constitution do not apply to LF , as he was already in power ..it has been stated that it applies for all future presidents ..that is whole point of my posting , Whether LF can stand again or not has been the subject of numerous articles in the press and it is suggested it is why posters of LF have started to appear in the capital .

sorry to bring you down to ground level ..but if the court decides in favour of LF , then I feel sure that you will see him win easily again .

Exactly how does this "economic progress manifest itself?

There are no jobs, except PLD positions.
Our school system is considered to be amongst the worst in the world.
Our tax rates are through the roof.
Corruption is more rampant and obvious than ever.
Foreign investors are keeping away because of, amongst other things, electricity rates that are very, very high.
Crime is on the rise.
Narcotics trafficking is the major growth industry.

Instead of telling us how good the economy is, please, tell us what segments of society are improving. Tell me which things on the list are incorrect, please. What exactly is better than if was 5 years ago?


All of us, the ignorant and unwashed anxiously await your reply. You usually don't make one. Will this time be the exception?

The damned if you do and damned if you don't mentality against the seating president from the usual culi cagao is plain pathetic.

Oh yes, one other thing.
The fact that LF is going to be President for Life is a tribute to the inability of an honest politician to break into the "Club". You can only get money from the government to campaign if you receive a certain volume of votes in the election. Consequently the only parties to receive any decent funding are the PLD, PRD, and PRSC, and if anyone believes that they are going allow someone to take away their feeding trough (our tax money), they can think again.
We are left to decide if we would prefer more of the same mismanagement, or Mejia, the worst president of any country ever, Vargas, who's questionable dealings while working for Mejia made him a rich man, or someone from the PRSC. Amable? His idea of government is to enrich himself. Witness that he has been elected to the position of senator 3 times and yet refuses to take the post . as the head of the Municipal League he is able to control (and steal?) millions. Some choice we have, huh?

It seems to me that LF is doing a very good job = anyone who thinks that is on crack or stupid!

Basta:

+1

not worth the effort to debate with those who can supply no evidence to support their statements ...just ranting the same thing every time .

What sector is growing to permit a 7% growth rate? All I see is hardship.

How come it's always the fools that fail to recognize what for most Dominicans is evident, LF has done a great job for the country; the peso is stable, consumer confidence is up, tourism is doing well, unemployment is down, so what is that you oxymoron wants?...US or Canadian living standard? not in Latin American you won't.

antonio1 ..sometimes I wonder if we who live in the east and in the capital are seeing all the economic growth here with our own eyes and others living abroad or in the north are having a far worse time ...everything you say in your posting is correct and I was quite amazed to read that the unemployment figure is now only 15 or 16% ...all the main supermarkets are full of people , the roads are much more busy with more cars and I have several friends looking for some semi skilled workers without success . But I believe it is less good in the north .
I would not call the people here fools but simply people who have been passed by in the general economic upturn and I think it makes them bitter.

I have no idea, does it relate to dialectics, are they writing from mars. And did you see my question about objectivism?

Figures that you are incapable of refuting the things on which I challenged you.

Just deny, deny, deny, as always. Coward.

Your factual bases are extremely inept, what does 2+2 equal and why is that significant in our country?

what figures is this man talking about ?? never seen any figures here !! just rants

I know; no one with a modicum of emotional and mental good health would spend time putting on the table those foolish questions.

LF has done a great job for the country;= another ass or another crack user

Predictable a poster child with delusional bed wetting.

you can say what ever u want about LF, but I take him before anything else... and for the people who says the DR is a 3rd world country, you most be living in another planet, because the DR is no 3rd word country, u most be blind to think that!!!

not worth the effort to debate with those who can supply no evidence to support their statements ...just ranting the same thing every time .

I have backed up every claim that I have made, time after time. You are a goverment apololgist and a fraud. I get facts, you just deny, deny, deny, what we all know is true and then you give nothing but praise to a corrupt vile government.

People here are funnier and funnier every day. Antonio. Stable peso? it was at 22 to a dollar when he came into office and now at almost 37? I guess that is stable?

Not a damn thing has improved since he took office. Explain why education is in the toilet? Explain why they robbed the education budget for the freakin METRO that went in one direction on one street for ann obscene amount of money to build without a damn study to prove it was even a safe investment? Explain why crime is rising like a rocket, corruption is rising on the tail of crime. Newspapers close for fear of being murdered by police and much more.

They say Tourism is on the rise yet the hotels are empty, they say the ecomony is rising 7% this year and I say WHERE?

You people who defend this government must have no show jobs, keep the education terrible, the healthcare terrible, the water undrinkable, the electric non existant just to keep the people thinking about their problems and not questio

question the government of thieves you all put in office and defend. You must think this hippo with hair walks on water also.

I wish to be as educated as you all.

Don't worry about BS Abstraction such as truth in your debate. Wouldn't want to put you at a disadvantage.

Scott
If you want to dialogue with me, address the issues I raise without smokescreens.....otherwise you are outwardly stupid, not Dominican or born after 2000, which one is it?; after the Pan-American games the peso to dollar was almost 46 peso to a dollar and it was like that until LF came in a stable the "funny money" as you usually refer to our peso.

6% in last 50 years, 7% in one year, that is easy to understand. I assume he is talking about his bank account, not the economy. When will you people understand the Central Bank is not equipped to measure any economic statistics, they do not have the tools to measure economic activity. So why don't we just make them up? the entire government needs to be exiled to Elba, and then we can start all over.

corruptman .you had better look at all the statistics for the past 10 years provided by other services apart from the Central Bank ..and maybe check through the central bank website to see actually what the central bank has and also the type of people they are looking for ,,..then write again from your united states address.

Ricarolito, I am in this country, and I am in a position to see things you cannot even imagine. You think I make this stuf up, Hollywood couldn't even write this script. It is an empty shell, with LF directing a cast of thousands, all enriching themselves while people beg and suffer in every corner of the country. It has one of the highest ratings on the world corruption index (my specialty) and has one of the lowest spending per capita on education of any country in the WORLD. I do not know nor care what you do, but obviously you have set yourself above the 80% of the people in the country who suffer daily. Good for you, just do not cast asperions on those less fortuanate than you, those victums who have no say in their tomorrows, no hope for anything resembling a real life, no realization of what has really happend to them and why, they only know they must TRY to play the system or have less than the nothing they already have.
