I can't be bothered going into too much detail but I will sum up my position by the following points.
1. I am fundamentally opposed to austerity as it doesn't solve the problem and only hurts the vulnerable more.
2 I would eliminate private central banking which is an unnecessary plague on our economies. For every dollar in circulation tax payers must pay interest to these private banks which print the money we use.
3. Increase taxes and make sure that tax dodging especially by corporations is minimised.
4. Governments should have a mandatory policy of maintaining a budget surplus. Once the country recovers from debt the taxes should be lowered.
5. Add a tax on financial transactions including stock trading in order to prevent manipulation of the market and economy by stock traders.
These are just a few points but are key to true recovery. I don't see it ever happening though as the corporations own the governments and people have no say. The economic crisis also serves to justify bringing in ever more draconian laws which bring us closer to becoming like the peasants of old every day.
edit. I will just add that I am against austerity as it is being implemented. I am all for fiscal responsibility as the rest of my post actually outlines.
