So Which Way is Forward Again?

Something that never ceases to amaze me is the willingness of people to accept tough times that are within their controll. As Haiti dominates the news those poor people are struggling now with the worst natural disater in recorded history. There was nothing they could do about that and my heart goes out to them. Here at home unemployment has reached 25%, the health service is at critical levels and our once booming economy is at its knees. So far the people have just accepted it and complain a lot assuming that these things are out of their control.
We have 1,000,000 people who are able to work not working. Why? Because there are no jobs apparently. We have the work force to put to work on fixing this. We pay €200 a week to people to sign a piece of paper once a month. The first thing that is to be done is cut that to €150 for those who wish to continue doing so. That is more than likely going to be the lazy and the youth. For those who wish to go back to work we give €200 a week to build our country back. The biggest industry hit was the construction industry. So we have many builders out of work and 32 hospitals that urgently need extentions for bed. FAS already do courses for those that need to be trained, and many already are so why not ask them to build those needed buildings.
You may argue that the money is not there to build these new hospitals but I would remind you that the function of the economy is to serve the people not the other way around as it now seems. This global economy will be the downfall of democracy if it continues this way, but if we have to play their game then lets. We find the niche and we exploit it to its fullest. The biggest thing at the moment is of course Green Energy, there is a company at the moment that has the expertise and the knowledge to make Ireland 100% Energy independent within 3 years. As soon as we have independence we can start working on exporting. We are at a slight disadvantage being an island nation but we are right beside a massive consumer of electricity. The infrastructure already exists between the UK and France to transfer power, we simply make it so we can export to the UK for X amount as a way to sell to the rest at Y amount. How may we do this? Nuclear Power, it has taken a rap because of the disasters it causes and rightly so, the safety procedures that were once in place were abysmal. The next generation of reactors are already running and are 99.999999% safe, they can be shut down in .1 of a second by pressing a button, there is no chance of an overload and they are better at extracting energy than the last generation.
So we put the million or so that are able to work and can reap the massive rewards in less than a decade, we can play the global game and come out on top. We give too much power to economists when their predicting methods are actually less accurate than those forecasting weather yet when the weather is predicted wrongly then its the god damned scientists fault, but when the markets become volatile then the economists could hardly be expected to know.

What gives me the right to comment, as long as every economist can make Global Warming statements I can make economic statements.
