Enigin save budgets, jobs and profits
After watching the news I try not think about the financial constraints so many countries face, particularly in their public sector organisations, such as hospitals, universities, schools, local authority and national government administrations..
Here in the UK it is frustrating to hear about cuts, cuts and more cuts, by the same token it is a hard measure that needs to be taken after years of wanton spending by so many of us, after many people throughout the world have enjoyed quite a few years of boom and easy money.
Yes belt tightening is not always pleasant but we have to face up to hard truths and that often means austerity measures, but does it have to be so painful? Job losses, financial penalties on pensions or redundancy payments - they hurt the ordinary person - but could something else be done?
In the UK proposed plan to put £55 billion into school buildings has been scrapped, as being the wrong time to spend this sort of money. Yet it appears strange that a national government won’t be putting money into something that makes a massive impact on the countries future, but money has got to stop hemorrhaging out of the countries coffers.
But there are other things that could be done that could reduce the impact of such cuts and certainly protect jobs, pensions and budgets - what? Efficiencies, and particularly energy efficiencies.
