Will the new Gov State Bank print notes to double the allocation for Benazir Income Support Fund, so that Mr Zardari can buy his next elections. In the process if the economy collapses, he does,nt loose anything, nor will Ch Shujaat, Afsandyar Wali, or for that matter Altaf Bhai, since they all live abroad with their families and bank deposits safe there, to live a life of luxury.
