World Economic Crisis

We've found the solution to the world economic crisis - just follow the example of our neighbours in the next town
a) BUY loads of lights, thereby boosting retail confidence in home markets and promoting labour in China, increasing the demand for oil, plastic reindeer antlers and artificial snow; and
b) Keep the electricity on as long as possible hence boosting the the energy sector (coal, water, oil, nuclear, whatever suits. Additional benefits will also be perceived in
i) the health sector as your neighbours seek treatment for sleep deprivation and repetative eye strain; and
ii) the automotive arena as parents are hassled by sproglets from miles around to undertake a 8 mile round trip to view said lights.

So stuff the 2.5% VAT reduction, OTT Crimbo lights are the way forward...

AND...will keep away bears, moose, racoons and burglars for the entire Christmas period!

Not bad, as a joke; but entire countries should be powered by farms excercise bikes, with the riders being forced fed Dorset Farms muesli, everyone does 2 years national grid service.
