MPs support the government's economic program despite "obstacles" and an expert described as "good"
Give PM Abadi time....give the Parliament time.....give President Masum time.....and I believe we will witness some very positive changes happening within Iraq....miracles don't happen overnight....they need some nurturing, especially when they have been neglected for upwards of 8 years....sure thing there will be obstacles...there has to be....but the success that is coming will be like nothing seen in Iraq in the past 8 years....they will find abilities to focus on sectors other than just oil and gas....agricultural, commercial, and other industries...that will flourish when they floundered in the past....a new kind of attention given to these areas....and most importantly.....a focus upon a "free economy".....this government brings with it new eyes, new insight, and new ideas that will likely see a strong bolstering to the economy going forward....sure enough a house cleaning needs to occur especially because of some of the last minute decisions that were made by Abadi's predecessor.....but they can and will overcome those issues as well.
