So who is right..Or could the government actually strain a few more sinews to get the economy going?

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

Work hard and invest... hmmm.. if the banks feel like giving out loans for growth...

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

The other get businesses to use profits to expand rather get businesses give too much money away pay CEO's too much.

This not going end well for coalition they seem hell bet having ago at everyone.

Infact go out limb say hague more right. Businesses being petty they squeezed wages and jobs too far. Those in charge even businesses are hoarding money in tax havens. All the combination means western economy tanking. Businesses could create jobs if they want too much reliance on record output and record profits at ALL COST.

If these businesses did start creating jobs. Those jobs would bring new breed of earners eager to spend which then results good sold. Business would make there money economies would become much stronger for it.

You get awful impression coalition had a genetlemens agreement we take on the public sector shrink it and you take up the slack for us.

Ok we will then they do it big businesses go what no way we decided sorry your on your own.

Maybe why the scathing attack by Hague the government under pressure for austerity big business not helping them.

The sad thing is the banks/money men are laughing there socks off they the winners. Sooner all governments stick it to them ignore there advice lets get economy working again.

Debt will be reduced when economy can take it not when they want it.

Re your last line - that's working so well for Greece.....

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

whats happening in greece fella bunch crooks forcing them to austerity. to death this result 3 to 4 levels austerity. Its bad example for the success of austerity or the flag for it. Coupled with tax not being paid guess what thats exactly happens many at the top dont believe paying it here.

Now is thought provoking comment.

If all countries follow austerity gameplan what do you think going to happen. What will the worlds economy end result. You got Modern living standards bills/energy/housing wages being killed to levels which wont sustain economy. Not forgetting the rich getting richer its not across spectrum.

I all for pulling back 1970's if everything does thats wages, rich wealth, standard living(food, goods, energy, housing prices). You cant do one without the rest. Illusion market forces would driven the standard living down is that illusion. Then the other issue wages lower taxasion lower net result debt burden impossible to reduce.

Therefore Austerity wrong and unworkable way to debt manage. Getting wages higher to generate higher taxasian therefore sadly business have to accept profits must slip. They must create jobs for good of the country.

To do that they got understand as long they not making a loss and supporting jobs and better wage it will help the country. If they can afford to pay better they should pay better. If they can afford to create jobs they should.

Governments indeed dont get away with it they can do more but business might not like it. They want there favourite tax cuts but what will work is this. Ban 12 hour shifts reduce working week to 32 hours but keep wages. Increase minimum wage or have 2 stage minimum wage for skilled unskilled. My more inclined to abolish it. If abolished give them carrot to keep wages high. Only give tax cuts to those business who create jobs and pay there workers more.

Business wont like proposals but they will create jobs they will create workers with disposable income and better free time to spend it.

What was needed was calm heads, clear minds of not to panic.

That was from businesses, consumers, governments and best all those banks/money men. Many panicked when

Economy will drive once businesse give out wages and creates jobs. When those with money dont panic. Those with money in pocket go out and spend.

Once wealth redistrubuted better such top wages reduce inline back to reality.

Once all these in place and taxes paid then we will see government debt come down. It went out control from 2008 at the point of saving banks but the favourite blame the party in power at the time.

We had worse debt after the war we solved that over the years why cant money stop demanding it quickly. Why pressure with threats when they know it will be resolved. They knew it was not governments but banks fault.

They willl get money back it wont be in the unrealistic 4-5 years they expect it.

My half brother is a boss and also rarely works less then 120 hours a week and he complains about the economy so i doubt the answer is work harder hague you muppet. Growth will come with confidence and an ease to doing business have those two and maybe the banks will feel happier about lending although i am not sure anything will get them going for a good while. This government seems to be all about the one line catch phrase and not about intelligent reasoned approaches to problems.

I doubt many in the government work as hard as many of the private sector bosses do so maybe the answer here is for politicians to work harder and stop blaming everyone and everything else for their abject failure.

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

agreed the world will right itself it dont need panick to make it worse.

All I see load headless chickens in banks, money men and government.

I fear it will end in civil unrest big style. To cap it aparantly our cuts been deemed illegal will post new thread on this issue but its broke equality laws. I wil post about DLA too not good reading both rizzy.

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

mertle, you are mis-reading/misunderstanding the Telegraph article - the cuts have not been "deemed illegal"- it was not the "inequality of the cuts" that was deemed to be wrong, but the fact that an assessment of the impact of the cuts under the Equality guidelines was not undertaken.

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

I don't think most British businesses can work any harder......muppet!

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

Exactly, silly billy's clutching at straws and trying to pass the buck because he and the government he's part of have offered no help or support that I've noticed.

Re: William Hague tells bosses to work harder
 

I would have thought that the natural stance of any company boss is to work as hard as possible so that his company and ultimately his wealth stay solvent .I think any lazy owner will quite quickly see his company go bye bye .Modern company ownership is quite literally the survival of of the fittest
