Of Surplus Funds, Paying Gift Money & Writing off loans verus Power Cut, water Problems!!!

Im not sure that this is a controversial topic... But i do know this...

Of the recent Oil price increase in the span of 6 months. Kuwait has been havign a major surplus of their economic funding. In return to this the Government has decided to fund , their people, writing off loans.

It nice to know that the government is concerned about their people who as "supposedly" having financial difficulties.... To what i have understood living in kuwait for the last 20 years, that Kuwaiti's have alot of benefits in many sectors in kuwait. Somehow I dont understand the meaning of "financial difficulties".

The Salary scale difference to a local citizen towards an expat is extremely huge. So i dont really understand...

But being one of the richest countries in the world, and having huge donations to countries with crises... my question arises what actually is being done about building the economic infrastructure? .
  • PreProgrammed Power Cuts
  • Water Shortage
  • Increase of inflation on consumer products due to monetary grants for citizens
  • Shabby roads in many places
  • Kuwait Tourism? is there one?
  • ETC ETC?

the Government should consider the fact that these surplus funds could help kuwait , be a better place.. The Above points.. i dont find it expensive for a rich country like kuwait. But fixing the above points .. i do feel will make this place extremely great and cool place to work and live in.

My question in all of this ... is

WHO IS BLIND to PROBLEMS... when you have so much money ?

Kuwait, my dear friend, is going to wind up barren and empty and used and abused, with nothing to show for it at the end of the day.
Hopefully not in our time ;)

There used to be a time people used to say lets make it a better tomorrow for the next generation, now it's a everone for themselves outlook.

I have, of course, utterly digressed from your point.
