A new mindset

It is next to impossible for a state to keep providing financial aid to the people for an indefinite period of time until and unless people pay taxes. Given the current economic situation, I would suggest that the PM instruct his financial team to work out a plan which would enable people to start their own business via a government loan facility. We must admit that Pakistan is not in a position as of now to provide white collar jobs to all degree holders.

Instead of leaving the country in search of a job, young people should try and become entrepreneurs. I believe that if paired with strict checks and balances, this loan scheme will deliver positive results within a year.
