"All loans for farmers due up to 31 Mar 2007, have been waived," all goodies.. after all budget is last budgets of this government. Good that election come after every 5 years else all budgets will be last budget and the nation will never progress. I am in favor of anything for education and health. But, don't waste the money by waiving off loans. This way people will become use to it, every yrs they will expect the same. One argument could be: %u201Catleast.. with the no of farmer suicides%u2026%u201D We can do a lot of things for farmers and poor. Old cliche "teach them how to fish rather than feeding them fish.%u201D Give them job rather than money. I am not blaming farmers. If your father don't teaches you how to earn and just keep giving you money then how long he can do that? Waiving off is a definite reprieve for farmers but they will remain poor. We need to change their condition and future. Provide them avenues to earn money for their present and future. Waive off is a short sighted and electorate luring instrument that is a burdan on others. I don't want people to be dependent on me. I want them to stand beside me. I don't want them to be burden on me rather I want them to share load with me. Eventually, we need to come out of dependency on agriculture and start something on service sector.
