It’s a major drain on Central America’s economies, costing some $13 billion annually. Combined with widespread tax evasion, corruption curtails funding for development, and the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have some of the lowest spending on social services in the hemisphere. Guatemala invests just over 8 percent of its gross domestic product in health care, education, social security, and social assistance.They have concept of checks and balances, their philosophies of life never got beyond religious fantasy. Kind of like that retarded senator from Arkansas.
White-collar crimes are only part of the equation, with low-level corruption taking an immediate toll on citizens. Last year, upwards of 20 percent of Guatemalans and Hondurans admitted to paying bribes in exchange for social services, and extortion costs Hondurans roughly $200 million per year. The exodus of Central Americans fleeing corruption, weak institutions, and indiscriminate violence also fuels illicit economies in Central America and Mexico, as human traffickers, cartels, and public officials alike prey on vulnerable and desperate migrants.
