To say that I “am not worried or bothered” would be the greatest understatement of the last 2 decades. Continuous increase in house repossession, failing banks, rise in; unemployment, food prices, energy and utility bills, has left a lot of people constantly wondering, where and when did it go wrong? More so, the impact of the economy today on the simple, “everyday” Joe. I look around me and cannot see what measure can be put in place to fix this problem. I suppose that is why I’m not in government.
The “everyday” Joe on average is more concerned with how he would survive from the minute he wakes up till he makes it back to his or her bed for what he or she hopes is a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately with the way things are, I really doubt that this can be guaranteed. Even the very rich are feeling the pinch, obviously this being relative.
An interesting new bit, which has been aired on the BBC and ITV, was that, one of the ways to help counter a recession or help the economy was high street spending. Interesting to say the least as, if we, the everyday Joes are expected to spend, how can with rises in taxes and the current rate of inflation, couple with other economic hardships being faced today such as house repossession.
It looks like an endless circle of suggestions not being weighed properly and being implemented and the knock back from its implementation, resulting in more ridiculous suggestions being made. Some one has to stand up and take control of the situation before it really gets out of hand as the people who would be affected the most, would be, your everyday Joe, you and I.
