start economy pay and collect taxes and then wish for everything
country cannot pay its debts and day to day affairs and wishlist ...
You are right. I also am a firm believer that unless our economy gets in a shape we cannot wish for massive power projection. But having said that, there are things which any nation do for its survival. What I have purposed can be accomplished with local currency without involving foreign exchange. It will certainly increase our internal debt but if we look around, there are 100s of such schemes and projects are being run which are nothing less than white elephants like this Benazir Income Support Program. Giving Rs. 1000/- per month is not going to get people out of poverty but still govts. have been running it since ages. Similarly, there are plenty of ministries which practically have no work and can be merged to save money, but due to political reasons they are there and billions go to their expanses every year. So, spending 100-200 billion more on defense using all local raw materials is not going to cost much. Not having basis when time arrives, is going to hurt us real bad.
