    Isn't poor India one of the countries with a nuclear arsenal, nuclear power, one of the largest militaries, a nuclear aircraft carrier, and a successful space program? It's not about the lack of resources, it's about how you distribute them.

      We probably need a lot more engineers to become politicians.

      Seriously? Not everybody is bad. Why do people think that's they're bad. They're scared and being oppressed because of some guy who wants to be on top of everyone and btw this comment really proves a good point as well. He commented on this even tho there's crap going on over there. This is one very brave commenter.

    Just look at how many engineering graduates actually make a career out of engineering. This tells you a lot about how difficult engineering can be.

    Engineers can do it.The avoidable loss owing to frauds in Govt.constructions has reached US $ $ 4 Trillions per year in 2008,according to Transparency Internationals.Introduce an additional Technical Audit suggested by GOPAC in 2015.Salvage this avoidable loss of US $ 4 Trillions per year.Approx. equal to US $ 1.50 per day per person of the entire world population of 7 Billions.

    But how can you have the rich and middle class if there was not poor people out there, desperate for work and willing to accept any job, under any condition, in order to support themselves (eg. 10 hour day factory work)

    Very insightful ... yes I have seen women and young children spending so much time carrying water ... surely even some black poly irrigation hose could do wonders ... I've seen the a BP run poly factory in Indonesia ... but where is the cheap hose for all ? ... A good look at politics could provide the reasons for our failures to provide basic needs ...
