Are Saudi reforms realistic?
Saudi Arabia plans to more than triple the government’s non-oil revenues and clamp down on public-sector salaries over the next five years. As Ivor Bennett reports, Saudi ministers say the reforms will reduce the economy’s dependence on oil and build a sustainable future.

This is a comedy piece, right?
Why I can’t think of a single obstacle in the KSA’s quest to “reduce the economy’s dependence on oil and build a sustainable future”. I mean, it’s not like over 90% of their economy depends on oil revenue. Or that over 2/3rds of their citizens are receiving some form of public assistance from oil, right?
I’m sure those mild, tolerant and oh-so-rational jihad-loving zealots (that the KSA themselves created and nurtured) will welcome such “reforms” with open (sword and bomb-wielding) arms.
This is destined to fail and fail horribly. And it could not happen to a nastier bunch of bigoted, misogynistic tyrants.

Saudi Arabia has a population of 28 million people living in a desert. They will soon be on foot headed for “greener pastures” in Europe.
