Nor Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamica and any other island in the Caribbean has to carry with such a heavy burden as it is Haiti, the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. That is why, I do not see potential future long term. Things will contibue to improve and at the same time deteriorate. Until it'll catch up. Dominicans are not investing in education and that is a HUGE problem.

Yeah, right-blame Haiti for what is essentially a dominican problem. They would'nt be there if dominican businessmen were'nt hiring them as cheap labor. Don't blame haitians for wanting to go where the jobs are. And as Haiti is concerned, the DR is not that far behind in terms of poverty. Take away the WU remittances, the drug money and the tourism dollars, and the DR would be just as economically deprived.
