I feel personally India lacks in Resource planning, poor infrastructure, lack of right mindset, right attitude in our society, lack in proper understanding among our politicians, ego, hatred, Interference with implementation of developmental activities.

We have enough natural resources, the only thing we have to convert these natural resources with the latest technology , taking support from Multi national companies, make proper financial planing like Linking of Rivers from one state to another state, Conversion of salt water to potable water, Implementation of Agricultural policies to farmers , help them to comeout with solutions in Biogas with the latest technology so that not only they benefit but India as a whole would benefit from it.

India is a boom in construction Industry and Software Industry, but overall revenue must come from agricultural products otherwise we cannot meet the demand in the years to come.But Right now we are getting mainly from Software companies only.

We cannot continuously have the fullest production without full employment. But we can very easily have full employment without full production. It would be far better, if that were the choice—which it isn't—to have maximum production with part of the population supported in idleness by undisguised relief than to provide "full employment" by so many forms of disguised make-work that production is disorganized. The progress of civilization has meant the reduction of employment, not its increase. It is because we have become increasingly wealthy as a nation that we have been able virtually to eliminate child labor, to remove the necessity of work for many of the aged and to make it unnecessary for millions of women to take jobs. A much smaller proportion of the American population needs to work than that, say, of China or of Russia. The real question is not how many millions of jobs there will be in America ten years from now, but how much shall we produce. Focus On Full Production?

Homes prices went up because of lower interest rates, etc. The cost to build one went up because of the huge demand of building homes which inflated the building materials. Insurance then went up because of double/triple values, and natural disasters.

Why the heck is healthcare, as reported on cnn going up so much? What has happened in the past few years to all of a sudden make health insurance, care, etc more then double?

Borrowing from the IMF is normally when a country experiences balance of payment problems. Therefore is it not the responsibility of the Central Bank (CB)? in which case the CB would borrow and repay from any future foreign exchange holdings. Or does the Government undertake this borrowing on the CBs behalf? in which case the debt would be repaid by the public and domestic currency exchanged for any CB holdings of foreign exchange. In either case the economy would have to directed towards incresing the level of exports / reducing imports. Just wanted to know how this operation actually takes place, the interaction between the two balance sheets (CB and Government), where the liability is held and how it is paid back. Any economics experts out there?

I am a hippocrite because I do outsource business to other countries. Whenever possible I do use an American vendor / mfg. Maybe I am making general statements but I am concerned about the American workforce and maufacturing environment. Since I am in the midwest, i see many companies moving their manufacturing off shore. I see Ford, GM and Chrysler closing plants. I see Iconic American brands being sold off. 95% of the goods sold in Walmart are from Asia. I know that we are living in a world economy but I belive that there needs to be incentives to keep and build our manufacturing base here. Not every person can be a knowledge worker. Americans can compete on a level playing field but the world does not care. We are living on "credit" and the wealth of the past. One day Americans are going to wakeup and find that they own nothing. We need to create a business environment that encourages business to stay in USA. I don't mean not trade with the world but America first!

A master plan is required to detail the manner in which a city develops.Adopting a strategy of focussing on specific localities and ensuring that these are self contained in all aspects ie adequate market places,residential areas specifically delineated,recreational areas is the need of the hour Ratifying large scale violations and permitting large scale commrcialisationcan hardly be called planning.This will only ensure the rapid death of thje city as the load on the power,sewage,water due to large scale commercialisation is something that has not even been thought about or catered for at this stage.
