RE: UK Spending Round - Rescue to Recovery - An Impeccable Analysis

Suggestion:
Good Morning Mr. Chancellor. Let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to.

Mr. Chancellor, I see UK economic outlook improve gradually during the second half of 2013. Britain spending cuts face severe in 60 years. UK fiscal consolidation cannot accomplish through spending cuts alone. Education will suffer an 8.4% cut. Education cuts will make UK less competitive because our children won’t be able to compete in the world and neither will our nation. However, school spending is safe guarded. Your government allocate total £50 billion investment for infrastructure. In my opinion, your government had done too little so far for infrastructure. Lowering infrastructure spending undermines the sector’s ability to stimulate growth or job creation. Moreover, it is not all good news for the infrastructure because departmental cuts like road maintenance likely to suffer.      

Mr. Chancellor, your government has announced no increase in capital spending up to 2017-18. This will undermine the public sector investment and the share of national income broadly over the next four years. Your government 8% cut in the foreign office budget, culture, media and sport faces 7% cut all welcome. Your government announced 1% rise on public sector wage bill. I identified spending for the public sector wage bill for UK has increased faster than GDP and it contributes to the problem of government deficits.

Mr. Chancellor, minimum wage bill is best for economy because wage policy is accountable for current account imbalances in UK and allows wage bill really accountable for the huge national debts. Moreover, wage increases have undermined the competitiveness of UK. Your spending cuts alone cannot accomplish UK fiscal consolidation. Some years it can be expansionary, some years it can be contractionary. So we have no reason to prefer just spending cut. In my opinion, UK need for structural economic reforms in raising growth potential and fiscal consolidation. The budgetary implications of major structural reforms are to be taken account for UK fiscal consolidation. So we need a credible framework for sound fiscal policies which could favour both structural reforms and fiscal consolidation.        

Mr. Chancellor, I am confident that UK spending cuts have positive impact on net revenues and would have significant benefits for UK economy.       

Sincere Regards,

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To:     The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE:      BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE   Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

To:     The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE:      HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047. Thus, the people of Hong Kong marched their protest against the bill on June 9, 2019. Hong Kong protests are still continuing. The silence of your government leads me to believe you have no plan t

EU NEW FISCAL AUTHORITY FOR WEAK MEMBER STATES

This paper focuses on setting up new fiscal authority to manage compatible fiscal decentralisation and budgetary discipline in the EU Member States. The authority need to adopt a tough fiscal consolidation programme. The authority should be responsible for designing fiscal policy for all Member States with stricter rules, conscientious monitoring and enforcement mechanisms for the conduct of fiscal decentralisation and budgetary policy. If Member States does not implement or violate the fiscal authority law that Member State/States to be sued in the European Court of Justice. We cannot grow our economy without proper fiscal cooperation between Member States. So the fiscal authority must coach at least weak Member States how to implement effective fiscal policy so that crony driven economy can be turned into a competitive market based economy. EU established the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) to avoid excessive deficits of the Member States and take precise act
