I have been seeing various people blaming the ruling party for not being able to curb inflation. Given the way commodity prices have soared in the last 6 months and the skyward path they are poised to take, NO PARTY can really curb inflation. The only way for us to beat inflation is to improvize our agricutlural productivity and maintain the cutting edge we have in the services sector.
With regard to population control, we need to take a leaf out of China's book and strictly enforce a 2 child policy. In case a couple wants to have more, they surely can go ahead with it but without subsidies from the government & not without having to pay a price for it.
