There are some who are saying that America is better prepared to ride it out than the UK as they have lowered taxes to encourage business growth, whereas in the UK, we have only just staved off another increase in stealth tax.

What do you think the government should do, if anything?

Where do you start? For a quick confident boost, reduce tax on petrol. Better tax breaks for haulage. Kick the spongers in to touch. How long you got?

It is a butterfly effect!

Yes, I got an email from a supplier I was thinking of using, cheerily informing me that they have changed their name, after trumpeting for months now how long they have been in business and have a valued client base all over the world. I think I know whats going on there!

I think the government should carry on doing what they are doing now! Then once Brown has run the country down just a little bit more, we should have a General Election, and get rid of him and his friends!

Oh, then we should have a referendem (spelling) on Europe, and either go in or stay out and then put someone in charge that knows what they are doing to put the Great back into GB. - Oh yes and allow smoking in pubs again, hunting with dogs, reduce VAT, make tax the same for everyone in the country. I could go on!!!!!

Inject more money into the economy ...people are irrational when it comes to money ..so tend to spend spend spend. This is what the US is attempting to do with the tax rebate, but it is not neccessarily always correct because people might start to save the money due to fears of the economy in the near future. Of course this is a only a theory, like a said before people could become rational and lose confidence in spending money.

So much more to do though

Personally I think the UK is scuppered, I have noticed in various websites a down turn in trade at the moment, to be honest I cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel for a while yet, even IF BROWN is kicked out, it will take a miracle to lift the UK out of the recession we are in and have been in for a couple of years...except that for moral the government lowered the rates enough to hide it under the carpet...but the carpet is fit to burst now I think and its all gone pear shaped....just my opinion.

...And Gordon Brown is going to get his ass kicked by the EU for spending more than his taxes bring in. Fines are on the way, oh my....
