The Southern Cross

It's without doubt the y3000 desert reforestation is going to take massive amounts of money. As I sit and watch the global economic crisis unfold across the world I see a similar characteristic of uncertainty overwhelm politicians across the planet.

How will we get through this? For the time being we are settled in relying on our governments bail out multi billion dollar companies. Trillion dollar bail out packages are the supposed Holy Grail used by politicians lacking the intelligence and imagination to create newer more effective cash flow solutions.

Meanwhile in the private business sector companies are searching for ways to minimize expenditure just to survive. And governments need to take note.

Currently in America nearly 4 billion dollars a year is being spent on living for expenditures for prison inmates every year. And do tax payers get back in return? NOTHING. Nearly 200,000 inmates relax in air-conditioning, eating three square meals a day, watching TV without a care in the world for the global economic crises.

Is the rehabilitation? Bring back the Road Gang. Drag inmates out of their cells and put them back to work for the country. With 200,000 inmates the y3000 plan can certainly get the man power needed. Plus the added benefit is that inmates can actually get the rehabilitation they are supposed to be getting by working and getting trade qualifications.
