The crisis has shown that the worst is possible

Before the crisis, the financial took considerable risks but had only a limited consciousness. Everyone wanted to believe that the major banks were unsinkable. The crisis has shown that the worst is possible. A CEO of a large French bank explained that the losses generated by its investment bank were due to "some irresponsible controlled by and incompetent". Today, beyond a few adaptations to the margin, the heart of the system has not really changed while bonuses have resumed, risk-taking also. But one thing has changed, the financiers are most irresponsible, some may even become cynical. They have understood that the enormous risks generated by their activity are indeed worn by the community and that loss is not for them to pay the broken pots. Then why deprive himself

On the real economy, the crisis is, despite massive stimulus policies. The consequences are felt by all, but more painfully by the weakest: unemployed, workers in precarious, young articles arriving on the labour market. Here also, the almost "natural" choice has been to focus the effects of the crisis on the less organized. Do means them almost, or future generations on that it accumulated a considerable debt.

We cannot accept the irresponsibility and cynicism as engines, finance and it is on the rulers to put an end to. States were brought to settle the addition, the last crisis has demonstrated the extent of the risk that the financial system poses to all nations. Our rulers are more than legitimate to get the system back in order by imposing new rules on finance. One may wonder if we should not prefer a strategy of action effective and discreet (through appointments to the Board of Directors of banks for example) to a communications strategy, consisting of "hanging" bankers to the media It still praise the efforts of our Government at the international level for the implementation of common rules, but this can summarize our policy to the challenges posed by the global finance because it is possible that these efforts give birth more fine declarations of tangible results.

Solidarity towards future generations and the lowest is a requirement that we stand for. Here also, it is for Governments to define the rules of the game, but the stimulus funding can be made only on the backs of future generations, while traders behind the tax shield smile! On another level, back the retirement age can be the answer to the demographic imbalances, especially in times of crisis. It is to increase the population in search activity for a quantity of identical jobs or even declining. That is to increase the number of unemployed and excluded from the system, especially among young people and senior citizens without a job and to focus on them only adjustment efforts. Of course, it would be demagogic to say that it is sufficient to pay patterns and rich (brief the other).

No, efforts await us all and we must all accept collectively to tighten the belt a notch to ensure that those who are at the bottom of the scale and which do not have the capacity to defend are not obliged to tighten it up to the suffocation. Solidarity is necessary, it will not be accepted on a fair basis and it will require courage of rulers and the unions.
