An economist at a local TV revealed that Zardari/Ruling Class of Pakistanis has above $150 billion abroad of which if they bring back only 25% economic instability can end & Pakistan can develop at a faster pace. He totally forgot that this money is thrown out of Pakistans National Economy. West loans it back on heavy terms to create financial hazards & political instability in Pakistan. West claims to have invested this fund here but a poor Pakistani doesnt even get a single penny out of it
