Re: Pakistan average economic growth under different head of states:

@Sa1eem

I cannot see anything wrong with the data you quoted from Guardian newspaper. Only problem is in your understanding the data given and your claims. You quoted the figures, gave your analysis and calculations, but you completely misunderstood the data.

Look at the heading of the data figures, as it is self-explanatory. If you had carefully read my earlier post (10](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/pakistan-affairs/635373-pakistan-average-economic-growth-under-different-head-of-states.html#post9898680)), probably you would not have made mistake you made. Let me explain what it says:

[TABLE]

Year
Economic Assistance,
Total
Economic Assistance
(through USAID)
Military Assistance,
Total
Coalition Support Funds

AAAA
X
X1
Y
Y1

It means … in year AAAA:
USA gave total economic assistance = X
… Out of that (X), X1 was given through USAID
USA gave total military assistance = Y
… Out of that (Y), YI was given as Coalition Support Funds.
It seems you are thinking that in year AAAA, USA gave aid = X + X1 +Y + Y1 … or … X + Y + Y1

Correct your mistake and you will get right figures (double counting in accounting is big big sin).

@Sachaydino

No, you don’t have any idea except beating about the bush. Those figures are not same and you know you are wrong. You don’t like democracy it is your prerogative but don’t put false theories to show dictatorship in Pakistan is the best which had actually proved bad omen for Pakistan. Pakistan is still suffering for f/ups of military rulers with no accountability.

@Sachaydino

No you are wrong again. Read the article again and see the graph. They are different and I rightly added them. Rest of your post is as usual proving lie as truth.

Since you have agreed to my figures, even you add according to your concted formula, proportionately the figures will remain the same.

I know your Jiyala mentality of ‘May na manoo’. Only BB (BeNazir Bhutto) from within grave and BB (Bilawal Bhutto) outside grave can make you believe that you are not Zombie and can think, though without them ordering you to believe and behave, you would stay in ‘may na manoo’ mode.

Anyhow, one can try… So, are you still in ‘may na mano’ mode or have read the article again to find that what I wrote is true? … That is:

In year AAAA:
USA gave total economic assistance = X
… Out of that (X), X1 was given through USAID
USA gave total military assistance = Y
… Out of that (Y), YI was given as Coalition Support Funds.

It seems you are thinking that in year AAAA, USA gave aid = X + X1 +Y + Y1 … or … X + Y + Y1

If you have not found your mistake and corrected yourself, than read the article again. Same article you quoted:

Sixty years of US aid to Pakistan: Get the data | Global development | theguardian.com

At the bottom of the article you will see:

Some highlights:

• US economic assistance to Pakistan peaked in 1962, at over $2.3bn
• in 2010, military assistance to Pakistan totalled $2.5bn - including $1.2bn in coalition support funds

Check the table.
You will see that total Economic aid Pakistan got in 1962 was $2334.65 mn.

(You can check the figures on graph, by moving cursor on blue line checking date and total aid received in 1962).

But then, data also show separately economic assistance through USAID ~ $1.45 bn. It only means that economic aid through USAID is part of total economic aid.

Same with Military aid: Date shows that total military aid Pakistan got in 2010 was $2524.61 mn. Data further shows that in 2010, Pakistan got $1220.5 mn as coalition support fund (CSF).

(You can check the figures from graph, by moving cursor on Yellow line for Total military aid, and on green line for military aid that was given as CSF).

You added both Total military aid and CSF, and tried to claim that military aid Pakistan got in 2010 was:
2010 (military aid) = $2524.1 mn + $1220.4 mn = $3744.5 mm

Actually, for every year you added total military aid and CSF to get military aid Pakistan got for that year.

You disputed me because I wrote that total military aid mentioned in table includes CSF … that means, Pakistan got $2524.1 mn as Total military aid in 2010 … and $1220.4 mn CSF is part of $2524.1 mn aid.

But you can see that highlights clearly mentions that Pakistan only got $2524.1 mn military aid in 2010 (as mentioned in table as total military aid) and that includes CSF.

• in 2010, military assistance to Pakistan totalled $2.5bn - including $1.2bn in coalition support funds

Now, if you could not correct your simple mistake and stay adamant than I know only Bilawal Zardari can order you to correct yourself.

But then, PPP having Joy-alas misunderstanding figures and PMLN having Iam-Dollar bankrupting the economy, no wonder Pakistan economy is where it is.
