On Tuesday, DR1 News ran a story labeled "Taxes not to be removed as planned".
Near the end of this paragraph, Mr Montas is quoted as claiming that the Leonel Govt is in such a financial bind because they spend 30% of its revenue on the foreign debt:
"the government spends RD$65 billion on foreign debt as opposed to only RD$190 billion in revenue."
Well, of course, you must know by now that he is telling you a bold faced lie.
Of the RD$190Billion in revenue they will raise in 2006, they will spend nearly nothing on external debt. The RD15$Billion in interest that they will pay goes mainly to the internal debt.
The Central Banks own document refutes Mr Montas' shameful claims:

Again, I ask, where are the DR1 posters denouncing this skullduggery? Especially those of you directly affected.....those living in the DR?
