What's the best way to raise the population and encourage marriage/romance? Do it the Singapore way and advertise the online match-making websites under the section of 'HOME' news. It is so much more creative than giving the perks and subsidies for buying a flat near the parents' or the baby-bonus.
There was this article on our founding father who engaged some academics and answered the same old questions that he's been posed for the past 5 decades. One which struck me was the pay for our Ministers, I have to agree and disagree with him:
- I do believe that some Ministers could have earned much more in the private sector
- I also agree that this father can earn $100,000 or $200,000 easily by giving a talk to bankers, etc
But I suppose, the $200,000/talk won't last long because people will be tired of the same old reiterates
The US $750 billion bail-out is such an interesting case-study. Yeah, it calls for a drastic movement to kickstart the stagnated economy but the $750 billion bail is really just a gamble because if the confidence of the general public is restored, it is a smart move; otherwise, it is just a silly move. Economists don't foresee the future, they only comment after the dust is cleared to say whether it is a good move. Is there any way to foresee the trend? I doubt so because everyone has his/her own view and it is indeed interesting that the country which condemned communism is buying all the bad assets to make them 'state-owned'
