Oh ! What a lovely waiver

Quote from "The Hindu", Monday, March 10, 2008
""
Oh! What a lovely waiver by P. Sainath.
... the waiver (of agricultural loans) is no solution to even the immediate crisis let alone long-term agrarian problems. Nothing in this budget will raise farm incomes.
""
The article analyses the agricultural / farmers' issues. I wish every policy maker read this. As I felt it, writing-off loans cannot just save the farmer. I think its not going to help the real poor. Instead it's going to fatten the purse of the "poor looking" rich.

It also will make another section of society disgusted, as they are robbed.
