Also, I really think that the government itself just doesn't know what to do. And I really think that the government is just completely messy; just like when they “fix” a road.

I will however, pick on a couple of things that I am unsure of, or don't agree with.

First, to what extent can you confidently say that the global economic crisis had nothing to do with (or little to do with) our recent economic woes? I mean, the financial crisis is definitely real, and its effect on non-western countries is measurable. Greece (though yes, a “western” country) comes to mind. So why is it that our troubles must be caused by years of poor management, while the accepted explanations for most other countries' current problems are the actual financial crisis. I am not particularly strong in economics so I wouldn't mind a lecture on that..

Second issue is Abdali. I agree with the bits on income tax exemptions for non-Jordanian workers, I think thats a serious issue. However, on other issues such as incentives for growth of al-Abdali, I respectfully disagree. While I'd identify myself as a leftist, there is a lot of truths in conservative ideology, and that is, large businesses and the rich few can create a viable economy, generate jobs, and improve standards for all (the Right of course misses the other half of the picture, which is small businesses). Point is, the new business district of al-Abdali is meant to be Amman's financial district, where large, influential, and widespread companies can be attracted to invest, and expand their operations, which would be good for all. I hope, however, the incentives are conditional upon employing Jordanian labor, promoting the use of local resources, and other healthy practices.

2nd of all why is everyone all over the rifa3ii i mean don't forget il rifa3aiii is employed by the kind and as in anyother business the boss should be held accountable for everything his employees do ! ya3ni just a thought !
