Should we have the houses built in India and shipped over since UK manufacturing is dead? It would be a lot cheaper.Originally posted by milanbeneslook lads for fecks sake this discussion is fruitless
the reason for the situation is a product of the ever expanding money supply
which needs to be there to keep the service economy going
there is one thing which would kick start proper securely footed growth in the economy and that is to build the hundreds of thousands of houses that are needed, that alone would create so many jobs and so many spin off jobs and industries the economy would grow like a rocket
meantime lads, as you've shown you have no clue when it comes to fiscal policy, I suggest you stick to something you can do like patching windows servers

America may well be founded on meritocratic principles, but can you honestly say that everybody has an equal chance of success there today?Originally posted by TrollI suppose America is a good example"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
