New Saudi King buys happiness for the Proles

I think the new Saudi King has one-up'd berry's iphone give-a-way??

I understand his need to placate the masses, in light of the ISIS-ISIL-IS-AQ (what ever) threat.

But will it work,, or is he just slipping money under the table to bank roll the terrorist??

"It is party time for Saudi Arabia right now," said John Sfakianakis, the Riyadh-based Middle East director of the Ashmore Group, an investment company,

who estimates that the king's post-coronation giveaway will ultimately cost more than $32 billion.

That is a lot of cash, more, for example, than the entire annual budget for Nigeria, which has Africa's largest economy.
