Estimado Sr Presidente,
I read in the news that you defend government handouts as "a way to give poor people dignity". My question to you is "How do you create dignity in people by perpetuating the practice of maintaining them as beggars?"
Then you compared yourself to Joaquin Balaguer with this practice. Sir, for several years I watched Sr Balaguer's handouts of free bicycles on Avenida Maximo Gomez in Santo Domingo. How did he create dignity, especially with the women at the tail-end of his handouts, when the place would turn into a free-for-all brawl between women fighting over one of the last bicycles for their kids, who were always watching on as their mother was wailing away at some other kids mom while they also watched? Then, of course, they would return again the following year for another free bicycle. Some dignity.
Yes sir, its a sad situation. So why don't you do what you have always promised to do, which is TO FIX THE DAMNED ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS HERE?
If someone gets in the way, fire them, or replace them. If someone is holding it up waiting for a bribe, put them in jail. If someone doesn't want to pay, then cut them OFF. No power. No meter - no power. No pay - no power. Steal it - jail, NO MATTER WHO THE HECK YOU ARE. Go directly to jail.
If there would be a 99.9% reliable power supply, businesses would be able to do business. New businesses would be started. New jobs - more money in the people's hands. More money = more purchases= more business. Less poor people without work.
Think of the fuel savings for the country if there weren't 500,000 damn generators doing what you ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, which is supplying power, and burning up the country's gasoline supply in a poor conversion to electricity. Even Haiti has better power than the DR. Friggin Haiti !!
Electricity is what is holding this country back, and keeping it down. Fix the damn problem. Make it your only priority for your remaining time in office.
Merry damn Christmas. I am POSITIVE you always have electricity.
