Re: Has anything changed under the PMLN
Short term indicators are 'pretty', but long term indicators are all horrific.
Short term indicators are cool if you are only planning for the next month, year, or next elections at the most. But as far as long term factors go, there has been virtually no** change in the overall revenue generation capacity** of the country, and the only way govt has shown an increase in GDP is through farcical figures, like saving bucks because of falling oil prices and increasing taxes on the middle class.
Business friendly govt is always a good thing, but PMLN's definition of business friendly is to 'benefit friends who are in business'....whereas it should be policies that allow businesses to flourish, and in turn hire more people, increase exports, and generate genuine revenue.
Such things require vision, honesty, sincerity, professionalism and competence. Not an accountant brother in law leading a kitchen cabinet and making feel good 'typos' in reports.
Instead of passing reforms and genuinely fixing economy from grass root level by creating industries and jobs, loans upon loans is an easy cash cow for likes of PMLN - who spend fraction of those billion dollar loan on some flashy project - the rest of the money goes in their pockets or funding helipads, fixing walls of Jati Umra, expensive ads, or funding 100s of ceremonial foreign visits of President and PM who are too egoistic and power hungry to share the experience with a full time foreign minister. After all they need money to fund their Royal gran-diose.
Yes take loans on massive interest rate - God forbid if this government has to make cuts to their own larger then life expenditure to manage big budget deficits. All these borrowing on high interest rate will come back to bite Pakistanis in their butts in few years time, and then they will realise how badly PMLN screwed them for generations.
2/3 majority and main opposition groups in their pockets yet no reform in bureaucracy, health, education, police, constitution, economy, judiciary. Bloody idiots didn't even allocate any funds for NACTA to counter terrorism....aa jaa ke Rangers, ISI and Military ka moun dekho ke when will the saviours start operation clean up the stinking mess of Punjab.
I hope Rangers also manage to get the rapists being sheltered in PMLN's ranks, and PMLN the party and their supporters don't cry foul and make excuses.
