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.
