The Way Forward

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

The current problems are down to them or maybe us as we elected them! But then they were the cause because they didn’t follow our words of wisdom! What of the future? It’s a fact that what people have they will be loathe to give up hence the protests in Greece, Cairo, Tunisia and others. So we have to take what we can back but don’t expect much cooperation. The answer is don’t give away anything more.

To start with all Government departments are overloaded. So don’t recruit any more staff, redeploy that which you have. Retire everybody at the same age. In the U.K. that is 65 at the moment, and it should apply to all workers throughout Europe – private or civil service. They won’t agree to that! But why not, it should be a new retirement age for all or out on your ear, they will have to listen. Strike they will cry – if they wish 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 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.

Maybe you don’t agree with these comments. I can think of other ways forward, but maybe your comments may have some, and your opinion on my suggestions are very welcome1
