I thought the "SHOW" had begun some 6 months ago, what with all the innaugurations of PLD Projects and all the bally-hoo about this administrations accomplishments(???).
None of theParties seem to be able to control their spending, build the infrastructure, educate the population, get an efficient energy (electrical) distribution, etc., etc., etc.
Just what is the Government good for, except to line theincumbents pockets with the taxpayer's money?
Maybe, if , for once, they decided to spend the money on thecountry instead of themselves, the DR just might enter a "Second World" category instead of ranking almost last in the "Third World" category.
SOME DAY????????

Well said Bill. The real guilty people are the general population, who buy into all the nonsense that is politics.
