can&#039;t seem to find an option to &#039;suggest a story&#039; this issue deserves a separate post</description>

		<description>you guys must be exhausted by now let me chip in my two dimes....


The self centered and loner as iam my economy is all Aid based just like Pakistan on a macro level remember Mr Aziz used to talk about at length he must have learned it from somewhere...the americans realized iam not even trying lifted the ten year old sanctions and reimbursed with an apology.the gracious saudi&#039;s and the british are wary of the rising oil prices are seriously thinking about increasing the aid package...the Canadians and the Indonesians are desperate to join the donors club if they did I&#039;ll be having lunch in Dubai with my two bodyguards...world geography and Pakistan studies have always been my favorite subjects..lol 

On the expense side...i don&#039;t use petrol not even in the darkest hours
Dalda is free...very few people i know deep fry pakora&#039;s in dalda....monsoon is just around the corner...let it rain..
Rice i only use in biryani...it was Rs40/-per plate last year now it is Rs 50/- going 60/-
pepsi can/pet500ml was Rs 20/- last year now it is Rs25/-

The point is it ain&#039;t that bad for me the worst affected are those who took leasing from banks during Mr Aziz. the banks may not enjoy the same kind of freedom as it did they are the worst hit by the democracy in pakistan always....</description>

Soon the Govt may start to fund the Feudal Land Lords to increasing farming, claiming that this will bring down the commodity prices :)

The number of parasites in our society is increasing because they are flourished by our system. So becareful what you wish for. :)</description>

		<description>Well we do need the flyovers and yes we do need to get cheaper edible items too.

Agri business is big in North America but still the pricess doubled for wheat flour.

I feel its more of *aritifical shortage* and huge hedge funds betting on commodities. You want it - Pay the price I demand.

When there are no rules, no ethics and no justice, it will be chaos every where.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;
NO court will take suo-moto notice of such mess., they will act only if they do not get Mercedes for protocol…
&lt;/i&gt;

because court is being run by Musharraf&#039;s guys like Doggar so you can&#039;t expect suo moto action anymore. Infikhar did take suo moto actions against food inflation. it seems you were not used to read papers at that time.</description>
