India’s Premier Pleads for Support of His Plans in Televised Address

2. Unpopular measures, intended to revive the floundering Indian economy? Oh right, the economy.

Not for a minute do I believe these measures are intended to revive the economy. They are intended to pay off corporations and make the poor and middle class pay more while corporations and the filthy rich live in the lap of luxury.

Austerity for the workers, luxury for the idle rich.

Singh does not care about the Indian economy. Allowing chain stores like Wal-Mart to funnel money into Arkansas and the Walton's estates is not going to improve the Indian economy. Taking away economic safety nets and cutting benefits to the poor is austerity. And austerity has so vastly improved european economies? Not. Austerity has proven to be totally destructive to weak economies, just look at Greece. But Singh wants to try it in India anyway.
