No offense or anything but as i am in fact a foreigner living in Kuwait i can tell you for a fact that without foreigners in Kuwait the country would not survive.
It is mainly the foreigners who actually do all the work and ofc this does not mean that all Kuwaitis are like this but the majority are more or less lazy and done really do a whole lot.
No offense ofc!

I agree with coatseville ;)

Kuwaitis (I'm one, so I'm not being offensive or anything :P) think they're too good to work in a supermarket, or as a baby sitter, or as a security guard. They prefer working in the government buildings where they get paid, and they don;t do much work, play with wasta, have a cup of tea, and go home.

That's the painful truth in Kuwait (I dunno about other gulf countries, but I'm sure about Kuwait).

And if the government allows this messing around to happen? Why would the Kuwaitis say no, we got the money, let them give it to the Kuwaitis instead of donating to all the other countries no?

But it is bad, and when the oil runs out in 30 or 40 years, they'll be like oh sh*t :P

Kuwaitis have been raised on the fact that everything you want you get, well most of them are, go to any of the malls, 99% have blackberries or iPhones, 99.9% of th girls hold designer handbags, 97% of the boys wear designer polo shirts and t-shirts. 65% own a beach house or a ranch, 85% travel in the summer, 70% go to Dubai or Bahrain in weekends and short public holidays.

They're spoiled, Oprah did not lie when she said this “In Kuwait, Egyptians build the houses, the Indians clean the streets, the Filipinos raise their children, the Indonesians cook the food and the Americans handle defense while they just act like Paris Hiltons.”

You guys are rich. Thats very good. But the main problem is the dependency on oil I think.

Kuwait is trying very hard to get out of the dependency on oil.

They are using the money earned to make investments that will help them in the future.

In doing so, such as buying land, they have really made a huge stack of finance for the future.

A lot like the UAE, it is keen on investment.

However, the main problem remains, although this may sound good, Kuwait cannot hope to back up all the oil revenue with its investments.
