Santo Domingo. - The Government’s claim that the global financial crisis put a dent on the country’s tax revenues isn’t enough for economists to support the issuing of US$1.0 billion in bonds, proposal which the Executive Branch submitted to Congress Monday.
The economist Pavel Isa affirmed that he rejects the bonds which would be placed in the international capitals market because in the handling of taxpayers’ money, “we’re faced with an irresponsible, little transparent and corrupt State”.
“In a normal situation and with a credible, moderately serious State in the way it spends, that would be the reasonable thing. In bad times you get into debt and pay what’s borrowed in good times. I refuse to support the idea of placing more funds in the hands of a disorganized, little credible and little transparent State,” the economist said.
Interviewed by Clave Digital, Isa added that the government needs to restructure its policy on public spending, before looking for mechanisms to finance the use of those funds.

Please do not give them ANY money.

More legislators!
The Revisory Assembly for the Constitution has increased the number of deputies from 178 to 190, rejecting a proposal from the President that sought to establish a minimum of 175 and a maximum of 250 deputies.
According to what was approved, 178 deputies "will be elected by the territorial districts in representation of the National District and the provinces"; "five (deputies) at the national level for accumulation of votes, preferably from parties or alliances or coalitions that would not have won seats and that have obtained at least one percent (1%) of the popular vote", and "seven (deputies) in representation of overseas Dominicans."
Continued:
Diario Libre reports that among the attributions of the Senate, the Assembly also approved the ability "to authorize, after a request from the President of the Republic and in the absence of conventions that permit it, the presence of foreign troops in the Republic's territory for military exercises, determining the length of their stay; as well as approving or disapproving the dispatch of troops overseas on peace missions authorized by international organizations."
Also new was the approval of Numeral 16, which would put an end to the limbo into which much of the legislation approved by the Congress falls.

(and here is the GEM!)
The legislators rejected a motion that would oblige them to reveal their accounts publicly, on the grounds that they do not handle public funds. The legislators in effect have refused to be accountable for resources assigned to them.
Failed State!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
