How to reduce government’s debt
July 8th, 2011 / Author: Pia FieldsDebt created by governments become more and more seriously today. Why every country has such a high debt (beside Libya)? It is because mankind is being misled by the philosophy of consumption. Government’s funds are lacking monitor and control. They are being stolen and waist easily. Below I list reasons that government’s debt are high and discuss the ways to deal with it.
1) Funds are being corrupted directly. Loans are taken by government leaders without a legally process such what the brother of Afghans’ president did in a bank. The same kind of thing happens in China easily. It is said up to today 150 billion dollars have been corrupted and transfer outside of China. The Chinese is unable to chase that money back because it is not easy to get help from the international police department. For eliminating corruption, United Nation should consider anti-corruption is part of the project of anti-poverty. They should consider that corruption is anti-humanity. Any government officers’ money that without acceptable resource should be freeze and send back to their government.
2) Funds are being corrupted indirectly. Government’s fund can be stole easily in Wars. That happens in the United State mostly. The United States has less chances being invaded but created the most wars in this world. When warmongers got profit from the contracts in the wars government’s debt was accumulated. UN there for should declare that all wars are anti-humanity. Conflicts between countries should be solved by negotiation.
3) It is a common sense that if you don’t have money you don’t spend the money even thought the spending can create jobs. Government should not provide benefit when they have no fund. They should never encourage people who without money to spend money as well. It is because consuming is not the best way to create jobs. Populations on the Earth today have increased 75% since 1975, up to 7 billion. In Greece 40% youth having no job is a dangers signal for us. It is obviously that even a good economic situation cannot provide jobs for all these people and we should not expect the market to solve unemployment problem automatically. Consumming is not a pratical way to create job also because maximizing consumption means encouraging throw away things. However, resource on Earth must be increased for six times to satisfy the consumption philosophy we promote today. We can not drive up GDP forever. Capital’s concept of seeking profit should not be the motivation of developing this world. We don’t need a lot of money but just need basic food, shelter and low cost entertainment. Governments should arrange jobs directly instead of giving out benefit in long term.
4) Business that government can build up is agriculture. When we succefully growth things from the soil we can survive. That is how our ascendants survive in the last few thousand years. Life on the Earth actually was simply. Seeking profit make things complicate. Government can improve the living environment and arrange entertainment to settle people down in the country. Changing our expectation about lives is a way to meet this goal. We don’t need high salary jobs but need simple and enrich life. Let us start to promote this philosophy to our new generation first. Their seeking is actually getting simple. They like internet and video games that doesn’t need a lot of money to set it up but need a lot of time to play with it. Share jobs, spend less and play more will be our life model in the future. That will help our governments to solve employment problem and decrease debt.
