So far, in 3 and a half months of his government, I give Leonel Fernandez at best a D minus for performance, which is slightly better than Hippo's last year which qualifies as the biggest "F' you can write on an 81/2X11 sheet of paper.

1)Finance Department: They have done little to help the economy. The dollar has stabilized due to Leonel's trust level, not because of specific actions.
2)Education:a failure. They have not even been able to organize a school breakfast. Schools are in shambles.
3)Labor: A failure. A policy has not been established and struggles continue with salary increases. Labor force is still deprived by high prices.
4)Central Bank:Another failure continues. High interest rates higher than ever, yet banks are reducing their interest rates on certificates as if the dollar is worth $15 to $1. But ask for a loan and they would think the dollar is $60 to $1. Central Bank continues to be a burden on taxpayers. They spend frivolously on parties, clubs, meals and other entertainment, while the rest of us eat crow. Do they have any policies that work, except Leonel's overrated credibility?
5)Public Works:What public works? Rather this should be called the "search and destroy department" in complicity with the Water Department. Just look at the entire Bella Vista community's streets which have been destroyed. The Duarte Bridge is still near collapse. Highways and streets are full of potholes. Tunnels have lost thousands of tiles and street lights. A total failure
6)Police and Armed Forces: The worst grade of them all. Besieged by corruption, graft, internal theft and even stealing citizens' properties flagrantly without shame. The police is an organized crime family. AMET's chief drives a stolen car, and he knows it.
7)Culture:Just think..the national theatre was closed for lack of air conditioning. That is the state of affairs all over. Total failure. Pity on the animals at our Zoo. The camels are in such bad shape they would not last an hour in the Sahara.
8)Interior: Minister Almeyda is the biggest jerk in office. This guy came up with the hare-brain idea of calling October 31 the last day to renew 300,000 guns in an office that can barely handle 300 persons a day. Being in their offices is as chaotic as Iraq's armed forces recruiting office. The worst civil ministry of them all.
9)The presidency: What do they do? Nobody knows. Leonel spends most of his time at the Global Foundation, when he is not receiving Botox injections in his new face.
Sorry, Leonel fans, but I am not very enthused about this government. Just look at their Attorney General and District Attorneys going in different directions. No credible indictments on corruptions have been put together.
When will this government take off? Any dieas?
