@manjunathreddy9786 It may look like it is helping. But it is not. Subsidy towards food cultivation of specific crops, distorts the market. How does govt know, what type of food, people want to eat? People need all type of nutrients - rice and pulses and oilseeds too. As people become rich, they reduce rice and carbs. They eat more protein. If govt gives subsidy to rice farmers, then everyone produces rice and very less pulses and oilseeds are produced which we import. Excess rice gets wasted. Also, people eating more of the cheap rice, will suffer from obesity. So, we pay more taxes and pay for import also, and suffer poor health also. Instead of subsidy, govt should make sure that every farmer is able to sell to as big a market as possible. Then farmer will know, what is in demand, and produce as much rice as needed. As much pulses as needed. So, no wastage happens. And the money you save can go into funding healthcare.

 @smd4051 Stop lying, you hypocrite. It's write-off not waiver. And most of these loans were taken during UPA.

@AmitKumarAlphaX It's not all about tax collections. Job creation increased with corporate tax cuts. Unemployment reduced faster among major economies. Companies were able to pay of their debt, that freed up cash for investment.

I am gonna stop working on a salary. I will earn money in a way, that I can avoid taxes as much as possible. I can't see my taxes getting squandered away.

These freebies are abused heavily in slums! There is a study that most slums are single person households, and freebies of 300 units are all going to one person and not a family. It's a proper scam!
