Indian newspapers today are full of scams carried out by criminal politicians and thieving civil servants. These scams did not happen in one day but were incubated over a period of years. So what was the Dear Leader doing for the last six years when the crooks were looting the country. The freeloading, foot licking press is always writing fulsome tributes about the honesty of the Dear Leader and his knowledge of finances but is it enough to be honest if you have no honor? The Capo was brought up in a culture where The Family must have power. To lose power is to sleep with the fishes. Therefore, the Capo will do anything to stay in power. Give 80% pay rises to completely useless, parasitic civil servants without asking for accountability, forgive debts of all farmers so that they will accumulate more debt knowing they will be forgiven again and start any number of social welfare schemes to allow criminal politicians and thieving civil servants to loot tax payer money. But should the Dear Leader, who is constantly being praised as the world's greatest expert on finance, capitulate to the Capo just to hang on to his chair? It is his famed honesty which allows him to shield these criminals allowing them to go on looting the country. If he had any honor he would expose every detail of every scam and make sure that the incompetent investigating agencies did their jobs meticulously. If he had any honor he would prepare his resignation letter and offer to submit it unless allowed complete freedom to catch the culprits. He does not dare do this because the Capo will be angry and he will lose his chair. Honesty without honor is the worst crime.
