Another loan ...this is an unending miserable situation. Just cut all unnecessary govt expenditures and defense budgets and privatize SOEs. You will not need loans

The more Washington trips, the merrier. The longer this circus continues, the better for our government shoppers. IMF should come over to Pakistan to save us some dollars spent on such trips.
