[kictanet] [Skunkworks] Runway inflation?

[aki]

Jazz, Phares,

Many thanks for your inputs so far. It been great reading.

The government has do something about the inflation or face a situation
where we just became a very expensive country on the continent. It will then
have to deal with a roller-coaster effect , that is price increase means
less revenue as people will stop buying. So the revenue being collected so
far will further reduce with a NEGATIVE TREND.

Electricity costs sky rocket, a negative trend to come? There will be
millions of people looking for alternate energy to cutting costs or just use
electricity for bare essentails. This will cause a shortfall in collection
targets. Will the power company be back in square one, i.e price increase
leads to more lost revenue?

So what excatly is the government doing about it? What measures has it put
in place? Whether bad policies or bad decisions, the current state of
inflation is un-acceptable. Passing the buck to citizens is not an option or
asking citizens to dig deeper into their pockets is not a solution.
