Diario Libre editorial today drives home the point that the government has to start saving. "The Dominican state lacks a coherent resource distribution policy. All public works are built with international loans," comments the newspaper in its editorial today.
It also makes the point: "Neither is there money to adequately maintain the infrastructure, or to replace the fleets of state-owned vehicles or tractors.
"All goes to pay wages and current expenditures, except for the two largest chapters in the Dominican budget: subsidies and paying the debt, that as can be appreciated, has become a revolving mechanism.
"The great sin of our governments has been that they do not save. They eat what is served. Not even the better sugar harvests served to repair the mills and all goes up in smoke and to the insatiable voracity of political philanthropy.
"The national priority should be to put order to the economy so that Dominicans can see the fruit of the pesos they contribute."
