will uk recover from this recession ? what will happen in future ?

[goldenbolls]

are prices going to keep rising ? fuel, food etc . when does the government think we will come out of this mess. im not into politics or economics but how are we going to ever get back to the way it was say 5 years ago when we were buying houses and had jobs, i cannot see how europe or uk can come out of this but as i say im not in the know , i would just like to hear from someone how things work and when we will get back to being employed and have some kind of stability.

The same question was no doubt asked during the many previous recessions such as in the 1930s and early 1980s. The economy goes in cycles. It will take time but the recession will end. Despite the recessions the overall trend of the economy is upwards. We are far better off than our grandparents were at our age.

Nobody can see the future, but there are trends which tend to play out in similar ways if nothing else changes. The frightening thing is that in the last decade world prices and population have risen logarithmically. Two results are likely, either the figures cause a permanent adjustment as we have many more people and no more resources, or something will bring the natural result of any sharp peak, a sharp fall, although that is the lesser of the two chances as the underlying problems cannot go away.

We have a complex system of a dramatic rise in human beings with no more space or food available. Secondary requirements such as energy are also running out, accelerated by the artificial restrictions imposed by carbon tax and trading. If the roots are rotten then the tree can only follow the same, and I can't see the crooked businesses in league with the even worse politicians cleaning up in a hurry.

When we stop the immigrants coming in, it might improve a little, but don't hold your breath that it will ever happen!!!!
