I see rational people

Expected toll revenue from the Sethusamudram project: Rs.87.42 crores per annum (2008)
Haj subsidy: Rs. 180 crores (2006)
Vidarbha farmer package: Rs 3,750 crore (PM Relief fund) + Rs 1,200 crore (State package)

Ah the unbounded joys of secularism and socialism.

Meanwhile:

• we are importing wheat in large quantities
• at a much higher price compared to domestic farmers
• massive loot going on within the PDS system
• fake currency has flooded the country
• industrial growth is slowing down
• no clear policy direction for growth in the face of rising rupee
• no significant progress in infrastructure projects
• our cities are bursting at the seams
• our children go hungry
• we have many intellectuals and rational people
