Man called Raja Khan committed suicide by self immolation in front of the parliament in Pakistan. In his note he says," I am committing suicide following acute financial crisis which my family is confronting." He accuses the President and the Prime Minister of promising " bread, cloth and roof ", or roti, kapda and makaan as we say in India, before elections and failing to deliver. Before that, also in Pakistan, a young man shot 8 people, including both parents, 4 brothers and 2 sisters, to death because his father was unemployed and he was tired of poverty. From Africa, across the middle east to south Asia poor people are breeding like rats in the belief that their governments will provide them with food, clothing and shelter for life without any responsibility. China started its one child policy in 1991 and has seen explosive economic growth as children have been better nourished and educated, women have joined the work force in droves increasing the pool of labor and less spending on food has meant greater spending on household goods stimulating production and employment. Indian economists try to hide the truth saying that an aging population will be a burden on future generations as a smaller work force has to look after large numbers of elderly. That is surely better than an average life span of 55 years, which the poor suffer in India, and poverty means that the elderly are neglected anyway. China has enormous currency reserves to look after the elderly and can look forward to people working to very old age as medical advances make old people healthier and more active. Politicians will not tell the truth- if you breed like rats you will die like rats.
