Thanks C'da for forwarding that.
This is indeed a sad scenario. IMHO, the shift in policy decisions at the Center, often hurt the poorest of the country. On the other hand, for a country that has been stagnating for years on a semi-socialistic setup, the early 90s seemed to give her that one shot
It is an eye-opener to all.
