As paid for by the Pakistani tax payer..

Re: As paid for by the Pakistani tax payer..

read the stats, look at what happened between 99 and 2001. Nothing started pouring in the country like on 9/12, tell you what look at first 3 quarters of 2001, versus 2000, and 99 and see for yourself.

I am smart enough to not only remember that, but smart enough to have read stats and reports.

Here is some data on 98-99 vs 2000-2001.

FY 98-99 vs FY 00-01

Large Scale Manufacturing growth rate (percentage) 3.6 vs 11.0
Inflation rate 5.7 vs 4.4
Exports ($ billion) 7.8 vs 9.2 B
Exports % of GDP 12.8% vs. 15.0%
Liquid foreign exchange reserves
($ million) End-of-the-period 1730 vs. 3212
Budgetary Deficit (as % of GDP) 6.1 vs. 5.3
Current account balance (as % of
GDP) -3.8 vs. 0.6
