Partly Facetious: How about auctioning the economy?

"So there has been a call for an auction?"
"Auction of what?"
"I suppose in a way you are right there is little left to auction in this country."
"How about auctioning the economy?"
"Don't be facetious, we are facing difficulties but we need to face them boldly."
"I agree, it's no laughing matter meanwhile our economic negotiators are in Washington with yet another plea for funds from the International Monetary Fund."
"How much money will they request this time around?"
"Babar Awan says 100 million dollars."
"And he was chosen as the vehicle to let the nation know because?"
"He is the much loved Law Minister."
"I wasn't aware he has any strong constituency any where in this country."
"Other than where it really matters these days my friend!"
"In Montecillo University?"
"Don't be facetious, in the presidency."
"So where does this leave Prime Minister Gilani?"
"Close to Tarar I would say."
"Tarar was a toothless president."
"Precisely."
"I heard the Prime Minister has agreed to auction off his clothes and donate the proceeds to the PM Fund for the flood victims on the suggestion of a journalist/MNA."
"I am surprised you compare him with Tarar. That gentleman had no sartorial elegance. Besides unlike Tarar Gilani is king subsequent to the passage of the eighteenth amendment and as you know everyone would like to get into a king's clothes."
"I thought the expression was to get into someone's shoes."
"Well, he hasn't been asked to auction shoes so we have to stick with clothes."
"And have you heard the expression the king has no clothes."
"No I haven't."
