Bring it on!

Apparently we have had thirty years of economic growth.

This has lead to interest rates so low that it is not worth leaving money in the bank. Traffic congestion as we all rush to earn another dollar.  A building industry which demands government support when noone really wants to build.

We encourage population growth to support industries which serve no purpose other than making a few rich people even richer. While the population continues to grow we will never be able to solve the problems of a growing population.

If we stop population growth today it will still take generations of effort to solve tbe problems of the people we already have.

Isn't it strange that the working masses are told to retrain to suit requirements of a changing business -- yet those same businesses are unable to change themselves : builders, for example, can only build. When there is less need for new building -- why are building companies unable to change to a more necessary activity?

After thirty years of economic growth we have a concrete jungle swallowing all available green and open space. We have neighbourhoods being destroyed to allow a select few people to get richer by squeezing more concrete into smaller area.

On days when there is no smoke from controlled burns, we can look out over the filth of permanent pollution.

Thanks to thirty years of economic growth the majority of people are priced out of the housing market. A low interest rate is no comfort to a young family who can never afford either deposit or repayments.

After thirty years of economic growth -- I am looking forward to the promised recession. Less economic growth? Less growing pains? Time to take a breath? Bring it on!
