Ideas for solving economic woes

[BrilloPad]

The government should print loads of money and then pay off everyone's mortgage. Most of the bad debt gone from banks books and we all get an increase in disposable income every month to spend spend spend.

Or is that too simple?!?!?!?

hmmm - yes good idea.......

except for value of the pound of course. and hperinflation.

Tax labour voters at 85% and give their money to the rest of us. They always wanted redistribution, so let them put their money where their mouths are.

Quality idea - what tax rates do you suggest for people who voted for the other parties? What about non-voters?

About 1%, expect for those who voted OMRLP who receive a rebate for all alcohol duties paid in the course of their lifetime, assuming a weekly consumption of 70 pints or 10 bottles of wine.

The first good step would be to stop listening to people like sasguru who were cheering all along during "boom" time saying how great City is, and now suddenly they are full of ideas how to solve the problem that they refused to acknoledge until it blown into their faces?

I forgot step 4:

Get rid of unproductive leeches like atW. They simply drain the Pot Noodle supplies and require extra foreign exchange to feed their habit.

A trader I know (who was worth millions) once told me an old (public) school friend asked to borrow 5k. He said he would give him 5k on 2 conditions :-
1. he never asked for money again
2. he did not attempt to pay him back

Within a year the friend had asked for another 5k. The trader put the phone down.
