The way forward

We complain about the way our politician’s fail, in our opinion, to lead us on the golden path to prosperity but do we suggest anything to help!

The current problems are down to them, they were the cause because they didn’t follow our words of wisdom. O.K let’s see if they can sort it out! But what of the future? What people have they will be loathe to give up, take what you can back but don’t expect much cooperation. The answer is don’t give away anything more.

To start with. Government departments are overloaded. So don’t recruit anymore staff, redeploy that which you have. Retire everybody at the same age. In the U.K. that is 65 at the moment, it should apply to all workers – private or civil service. They won’t agree to that! Why not, if it’s a new retirement age, or out on your ear then they will have to listen. Strike – go on then strike, but we should make sure it’s without pay.

The biggest problem is too many people. True we cannot go in for mass extermination of sections of the people. But why keep producing more than we need! The world wide increase in population over the last century has been from 1,650 Million to 6,707 million. True the fertility rate in the developed countries is 1-2 children, but even in the U.S.A. it is 2-3 children. This fertility rate should reduce the numbers that draw on those nations resources. But Sub Saharan Africa and some Middle East countries have a fertility rate of 5-6 children and in some areas 7-8 children. And now with the ease of movement from one country to another, immigration is having a drastic effect on some of the indigenous populations.

As much as one country would like to assist another, we cannot support a massive explosion of population in other countries. And that is exactly what we are trying to do. Our governments must stop giving our money away and spend it more wisely at home. We should reduce any form of benefit that encourages more than a fertility of 1-2 children. I didn’t say stop having more children than two. But taxation after two children would stop much of the unbalance that is occurring in some developed countries by the immigrant population taking advantage of the child benefit allowances.

The use of the motor car draws on the petroleum industry; in the first place the design of electric cars should have greater emphasis. We can produce electricity from nuclear power; thereby our reliance on petroleum will be reduced. Something that will take our power supply needs away from external influence which should be seriously considered. It will also help to reduce climate change by less pollution.

I can think of other ways forward, but maybe your comments may have some?
