We have the resources
Might be ur the lucky one to have enough cash for health related expenditures
Millions are not so lucky
And it make hospital more profitable, salaries will increase, more investment will be made in healthcare. At least better then real estate
How much are we paying for running loss making PSE?
We can close those pse and direct money to education
If we have the resources to provide universal healthcare to 240 million people (when no other developing country can do so)
We have the resources to service our huge debts
We have the resources to build our infrastructure (IE motorways, dams, rail lines)
We have the resources to provide free universal education to all Pakistanis (I support it but we need to cut down our budget)
We have the resources to fullfil our defense needs to protect ourselves against 7 times bigger enemy and on top of that fight separatist insurgencies, Taliban
Not to mention those loss making huge state owned companies
All of this while we are a $1600 per Capita GDP country, suffering from BOP crisis , imports oil and gas to meet our energy demands, no significant natural resources to meet our own needs forget exporting those natural resources
and on top of that our exports are mostly textiles - please help me make sense of it all, surely I am not the only one to see the obvious issue here??
Ofcourse we have to take out more loans, I can't possibly imagine a fiscally responsible way of taking care of all of our current problems and on top of that churning out populist welfare schemes
So IDK man, I don't think we have the infinite resources to promise such grand schemes without further messing up our economic situation, this subsidy culture is bad for countries (whether those subsides are for the elites or the poor classes)
