Record oil sale money in past 6 years and we wonder why we are a piss poor country.
Now, in the past couple of months we have had 4 billion dollars stolen by a few people. Just to put things in perspective. The first bail out money by the government of united states to jump start the economy of the biggest economic power with a population of 300,000,000 was 700 billion dollars. Now 4 billion of 700 billion is about 0.6%, so a handful of people in IRAN have been able to steal the equivalent of 0.6% of the first bail out money in the USA (again, the biggest economy in the world). Now , Keep in mind, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Now we are starting to see why a country as rich as IRAN is as poor as it is.

great post..
such a disturbing trend..
This is all happening in an administration that ironically pretended to be the most caring about poor ppl's needs..not that these frauds have just recently happened and wasnt happening before, but AN has horrible record of fraud in his prev official positions..during his reign as Mayor of Tehran, city of Tehran had 2B Toman stolen from city budget..

bokhor bokhore vaghei..As corrupt as Greeks, Italians and Russians..Except that thanks to Oil $, they can survive the huge effect of fraud in Iran's budget deficit..
