This goverment received so much benefit and help but they just manage to look good on their own published and falsified reports.
What have they really done except a few cosmetic improvements and the metroproject that generated a lot of black money for some people ?
The main difference for me is: I have to spend more than twice as much to cover the costs of living and receive less quality and of course the mentality of the people in general has worsened. Doctors, lawyers and other clowns with what they call here an academic degree try to suck out the life out of the general public by tripling all the costs for their work because they know public service is as bad as ever.
and...the drug trade ? Do you really think the PLD doesn't get a share of it ?
Sure the alternative is really bad but at least they don't bother you so much to pay for something dominican politics will never archieve.

Man, if it's that bad why do you stay, I know it's probably because of your wife. Many complain about everything no matter, and fail to notice the positive changes because they are cranked about something that affected you personally, so that makes everything bad. I've noticed an improvement when I go through customs, I've noticed a difference when dealing with local government officials, and Yris has noticed numerous small improvements with the school administration. I've noticed in Jarabacoa an government run computer school, many other small things. In case you haven't noticed the cost of living has increased dramatically almost everywhere in the world- you expect the DR to remain immune? I agree with you about the metro. The Sindico in Jarabacoa just built a big house. That family had nothing 20 years ago - PRSC Party. I agree with you that the PLD is corrupt but in my mind they are a far better choice, but I don't get to vote, and I don't believe you get to either.
