A rainstorm of cash did fall - from government reserves and with more than ten billion dollars in loans, and today, in many parts of Egypt, you don't dare plug in a computer without a fully charged backup battery, you have half a bedroom filled with water bottles to get through the next water outage, and you hope that you can get in good with the Islamics if you want to get a job.
Utter poverty has grown by more than 20% under Morsi, with half the country now living on $2 a day. Gas shortages are common, food shortages are becoming more common, and every day the Islamics find another part of Egyptian society to condemn and strike down.
Morsi promised redistribution of wealth, jobs, less poverty and strong Islamic law. What the people have seen is the Brotherhood looting the treasury, giving themselves all the jobs, lifting themselves out of poverty, and an ever shifting Islamic law, and of course, tourism has cratered.
In other words, in a year, Morsi has managed to turn Egypt into the Palestinian Authority.
I think there’s something else...Freedom.
Same thing will happen in Turkey and Syria..
Once people have had a taste of the good life...and freedom...you take that away and there will be rebellion.
Same here. All Americans have had the taste of the good life all our lives...we sense a foreboding under Obama..esp with respect to what he’s done thru the IRS, EPA etc.
There will be a huge backlash coming...
Same thing can be said here, just change a few names:
It’s the economy. One of the supposedly compelling arguments to letting the Democrats/Progressives into power was that they’d cause a rainstorm of cash to start falling from the oil rich nations, ending poverty and creating a jobs boom.

Obama promised redistribution of wealth, jobs, less poverty and strong corruption of law.

In other words, in 6 years, Obama has managed to turn America into the Palestinian Authority.
