It is true, I waited two weeks to let PICHARDO be the first to post the numbers and conclusions from the "The Global Competitiveness Report 2012-2013".

:rolleyes:

Persisting Divides in Global Competitiveness as Switzerland, Singapore and Finland Top Competitiveness Rankings in 2012 | World Economic Forum - Persisting Divides in Global Competitiveness as Switzerland, Singapore and Finland Top Competitiveness Ra

In some fields the DR (among the 144 countries examined) is in the last position, in others not much better.

Subject / Worst positions in : 2012-13 / 2011-12 / 2010-11:

Despilfarro en el gasto gubernamental 144 142 138
Confiabilidad en servicios policiales 143 142 ___
Favoritismo de los funcionarios del gobierno 144 141 139
Calidad de la educaci?n primaria: 143 140 137
Desv?o de fondos p?blicos: 142 140 134
Calidad de la educaci?n matem?tica y cient?fica: 142 139 136

Now, let PICHY spin his yarn and tell us, how things really are... :laugh:

How does such a beautiful and resource-rich country that boasts Christian values on its national emblem come to find itself so systemically corrupt?

Now line one of the Metro is falling apart due to lack of funds to pay for maintenence!
And line two is halted because they owe the contractors half a billion pesos!
(That From Today's Newspapers)
Haven't seen "Pee's" spin on THAT yet!
He will just say,"That's how we do business in the DR!"
"Same Ol' Same Ol'!""
