  1. If you distribute one rupee daily among all pakistani,It will cost 18 cror rupees daily because pakistan population is 18 cror. It will cost 6 billion monthly and 72 billion yearly and 360 billion in 5 years if you distribute one rupee daily to all pakistani. At the end,result will be no one rich, result zero. Money should be spent on productivity like construction of dams,big factories,energy sectors,roads which will create jobs and revenues and debt will decrease and its effect will be for centuries. In pakistan,2 billion was spent on laptop uselessly. I do not have laptop so what. I should buy desktop costing 4000 rupees only. That 2 billion should have spent to make 10 trauma centre in differents parts of punjab which will remain always
