It's not fucked, it's bankrupt However, Dominicans will do just fine as they're survivors. They will always find a way to buy their daily supply of pollo, arroz, y cerveza frio As for most of their proposed taxes, it's Dominican logic 101, it doesn't exist.
However, what has existed in the last 8 years has been the BBBJ given by the past president to this country.

Thank you for the article.
The more fucked up the better for us
Brazil is first world now...that sucks
You beat me to it!
I half agree W/Hunter. Parts of Rio and SP may be but an hours drive outside of either is neither 1st nor 2nd world IMHO. I also believe that in the years following the Olympics, Rio will start to revert back to its old self or worse - but that’s a discussion for another thread...
Well shut my mouth! (as the idiom goes).
Then I guess that was a heart shot and i certainly didn't mean that - my apologies!
A place has to be pretty fucked up when wearing braces (fake or not) is considered a status symbol.
Haiti is fucked up. Cuba is fucked up. The DR always seems to be improving economically to me.
The Yankees, Rays, O's and Red Sox are fucked up too. LOL
Your comparing apples with oranges. The economy of a country as it now stands and its rate of improvement. Haiti is the most fucked-up country in the Americas but it is forecast to have the greatest improvement in GDP in the Americas over the next two years, mainly because it is starting from a very low base.
Any apparent improvement in the DR comes from borrowed money and laundered money, both of which could dry up at fairly short notice. The projects in which they have chosen to invest are ones in which money can be siphoned off as commissions, such as buying fighter aircraft and the metro. They have not invested in things where it is harder to embezzle money (although I am sure they would have a damn good try) such as education, but which would sustain steady economic growth in the future.
Not finding this site sooner and not having been to the DR to monger is seriously fucked-up. LOL
