How we can tackle the economic crisis
Prices must fall
In order for prices to fall, the following must happen:
- Take our money back from the banks. Allow the housing market to crash. The cost of living will come down.
- Abolish unemployment benefits.
- Abolish fuel duty. Get the country back on its feet.
- Abolish the minimum wage.
- Let the pound devalue, making our exports more competitive.
Growth must happen too
Growth will come from the following:
- Government must "seed" industries by setting up factories. These will provide employment, and exportable products.
- Government must build more houses.
