If the global financial crisis is a common disease around the globe, the way to treat it is not the same. Countries are still conflicting over the various schools of thought to face the disease. This conflict extended from among countries to within each country, except Egypt! In the United States, for example, there is a heated debate and severe disagreement between the Republicans, who were in office till last January 20, and the Democrats, who are governing now. The opposition says it is better to deal with the crisis at American level by supporting products and not consumers. The party sticks to its justifications and mobilizes the public opinion around them. But Obama, at the head of the ruling party, believes in the contrary and tends to support consumers, not products. He also has strong, and perhaps, logical justifications. He says that if he supported the banks that caused the real estate crisis, for example, these banks would take over all the support, which therefore would not reach the victims of this crisis. The incumbent U.S. administration says that 72% of the national gross product depends on citizens' consumption. Therefore, it says that supporting consumers and not products will greatly benefit the national gross product.
The conflict between the two schools still continues. The winner will be the one who is able to rationally and logically convince every citizen of his arguments and evidence! In Germany, there is a third different school that does not intervene directly to prevent any bank or company from going bankrupt, but it continuously provides facilitations, such as tax privileges, to help the community overcome the crisis that is about to strangle it! The same thing applies to England, China and other world countries. The question now is: what are we doing in the meantime? Dr. Amr Abdel Samei has a difficult task in his TV program "A state of dialogue", which he brilliantly runs on a weekly basis on the first channel. Indeed, the Egyptians want to see two schools talking and conflicting day in and day out on the best way to tackle this crisis that will lead to around one million job cuts!
The eighty million Egyptians are eager to watch a dialogue on the issue of public property title deeds. Indeed, they want to know whether it will still be enthusiastically proposed or whether it will be cancelled under the pretext of the crisis. The recent fall of the stock exchange took the per capita share of public property from LE500 to LE50 at most! In addition, there are conflicting or even contradictory statements on the same subject, so people do not know the truth and the final destination!
We want two conflicting schools inside the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) and two more outside it. The school winning people's support should be the one with logical reasons, proof and evidence, not the one with power!
