This budget is a JOKE, look at inflation and the GDP growth this year. Its embarrasing to even quote them.

| WATCHING POVERTY GROW: A look at Pakistan's budget |

WATCHING POVERTY GROW: A look at Pakistan’s budget
Electricity bills go up, so do gas prices as Pakistan government announced 0.2% for health-care, 0.8% for education and 12% for the army in the budget 2009-10. The only expenditure higher than the army’s in the budget is debt payment.
For now, the army is working for the money they make but their influence on the political set-up is obvious by the chunk of budget allocation they receive compared to the necessary public expenditure that keeps getting put off indefinitely. The minister, in her budget speech revealed that the war on terror has consumed 35 billion dollars. Americans paid ten and who paid the rest is everybody’s guess.
Most ironic is the exorbitant increase in electricity bills. The whole city of Karachi was without power for longer than 24 hours. Load-shedding of electricity for a few hours daily is the norm all over the country but consumers will see a minimum raise of one thousand rupees on their monthly bills.
Government has ear-marked Rs. 70 billion to be distributed to the poorest families. The program called Benazir income support fund would give $12.50 (one thousand rupees) per month to 5 million families who have no income. Close to a quarter of the 170 million Pakistanis live in extreme poverty.
Almost 75% Pakistanis live on an income below two dollars a day. Health-care is either hard to reach or very expensive. Middle class in the cities cannot afford necessary health-expense. For the large majority, government hospitals are the only resource and they are far and few and under-funded. The amount of Rs. 6.48 billion allocated for the health sector cannot improve on the provision of this necessity.
More than half of the Pakistani population is illiterate and Pakistan has existed for sixty-two years. Numbers speak for the government’s in-attention to this vitally important sector. With the US gestures for aid to be invested in the public sector, the allocation of a meager 0.8% towards education is pathetic.
Pakistan’s Rs.2.9 trillion budget relies on foreign aid and the government plans to seek help from IMF in case the aid does not come through on time. This budget projects a deficit of 4.9% and IMF could allow only 4.6% so the government intends to borrow money to make up for the difference. Broadening the Tax base by including agriculture could be a far-fetched idea for the government of feudal-lords. Agriculture contributes 22% to the GDP and yields only 1% of the revenue.
Rs.655 billion will be given to the provinces in 2009-10. The year before, provinces were promised more in the budget but received around Rs.600 billion. In 1948, sales-tax was taken over by the federation because national security demanded that provinces give it up. With the volatile situation in Baluchistan and a war in NWFP, the budget could be a good time to announce concessions for the provinces but a National Finance Commission is set to begin after a few months. Integrity of the country could depend on these issues but government has not shown any urgency.
Generations of Pakistanis are condemned to a life-time of hard labor on empty stomach to pay for the war, army, ministers, senators, MNAs, MPAs, international aid, loans and donations and still feel indebted to the donor countries without receiving a dime of help. The military and their feudal allies borrow on behalf of the people to keep their business running while the people are sinking deep in debt and poverty.

The budget is just a combination of numbers and figures but does not provide any practical solutions to the people's actual issues.
