In my humble opinion: Only a magical wand can save our economy.

As much as I would hope for some magical wand to just turn the current situation but realistically speaking I fail to see a silver lining, at least not in the near future.

The current recession has shaken up the consumer confidence.


It is amazing how our attitude has changed from a hope for our economy to turn around to a hope that it does not slide or slip any further.


It sure shows how we are hopelessly heading into the realm of hopelessness.


At times I wonder why something is not being done about it and it does not take me too long to realize that the people who are actually in a position to do the needful are high up there where the pinch of recession and unemployment do not touch.


It’s easy sitting in an office and talk about laws and fighting back to reintroduce the bills but it’s another story to sit there wondering how to put the next meal on the table.

Representation of the masses is failing to look after our interest and the power needs to shift back in the hands of the masses.

Therefore on a brighter note may be its time now to overhaul the system and introduce and implement some strategies that will take us on the path to economic growth and sustainability.
