The targeted 500,000 jobs per year sought would have easily been met if the government helped create just 5000/businesses/year instead.
To do this, simply remove all barriers to forming businesses. Why should i not walk into a county council office in my district headquaters and come out with a certificate of formation of a new company? In fact, just like in the USA, why can i just not fill the paper work online, and have the certificate mailed to me in one week?
Why all the regulation? If it is fear of foreigners meddling/controlling our economy (whateer that means), why not subject foreigners to the red tape (bad idea) and let your citizens at least have the sweeter privilege of instant company formation?
This folly i see!
