    What would you do?

    The way I see it is: (and please correct me, because I really haven't been paying any attention to much of this!)
    • The government is in a huge amount of debt (bit of an understatement)
    • Business' are going bust (so less tax is being made from business')
    • Thousands of people are being made redundant (less tax being received)
    • Thousands are loosing their homes (less council tax and banks loosing even more money on negative equity mortgages)
    • More and more people are signing on and claiming employment benefits (doll)
    • More and more people are claiming housing benefits
    • There is no incentives to put money into the bank and save, as interest rates are sh*t

      Surely this will just keep getting worse and worse???

      WE ARE
      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

        Build a new Concorde and put Britain back at the top of the engineering world, where we would have been if not for the corporate bean counters.

        But seriously, I would start by stopping all funding for degree courses which include the word 'management' or 'business' or 'marketing' and pump the money into science and engineering.

            What if they print more money but don't tell all the other countries?

            It would be easy... get Walkers to run a "win cash in your crisps" competition and arrange for every 2nd pack to have £10 inside...

              I'd make sure you had the right man at the top, to steer us safely through this US subprime derived downturn. I'd relax, sit back and simply vote Labour at the next election.

                    First thing to do is to appoint new management and arrest the outgoing set.
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
