with due respect to the finance ministry & all its members.

1. interest rates r too high in relation to global reality. reduce deficit spending that is driving up interest rates.
2.food prices are a result of energy cost unusual jump during last few years. it is not because of lax financial policy.
3.thru an act of parliament all funding to political parties must be legalised and tax rebateable/ deductable.
4.thru an act of parliament all helping legislations of unnecessary laws encouraging corruption must be done urgently. this will reduce poverty and help growth.
5.gnp growth is the result of all positive actions of governments that hv been in power and such actions must continue. gnp growth would be higher if decifits r reduced and interest rates allowed to reflect international cost of funds.
6.education must be liberalised and morals and values must be the core of the same to help discard the corruption that has been in built since independence due to failure of good value politics by all parties.
7. considering the masses to be stupid is a big mistake dont underestimate thier will and ability to increase growth and bring about changes
