By REUTERS

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah on Friday ordered the handout of billions of dollars in benefits to Saudi citizens and created more domestic security jobs in an attempt to insulate the top oil exporter from regional unrest.

The king made a brief statement congratulating Saudis for their loyalty, national unity and facing the enemies of religion before his decrees were read out live on Saudi television.

The benefits range from monthly payouts for the unemployed to building 500,000 new homes and spending on healthcare.

In addition, the king ordered the creation of 60,000 new security jobs within the interior ministry. As well, the king decreed that media must respect clerics or face penalties.

I don't understand why Canada doesn't do this. We have thousands of underemployed and unemployed and indigent that should have new houses and monthly payouts.

Imagine how life could be improved if we just gave more money to people for no good reason.

Harper is evil. selinger is evil. sammy is evil.

I thought that was already happening.

Or, are you suggesting that we should make Harper King of Canada so he could make such decrees. (Would that make Sam Katz a Duke?) Smile

Does Harper know that you are stalking him?
