The slogans "stimulate consumption" and "promote consumption" can often be heard. But why don't the people dare to spend money, do they dare not spend it? Or is there really no money anymore?
In fact, ordinary people have been "hollowed out" in debt. Many families have decades of mortgages, and almost every month their income is invested in this bottomless pit. With an income of 5,000 and a loan repayment of 3,000, the rest of the money is not even enough for basic living, let alone consumption.
In today's society, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and ordinary people are not even touched. Farmers work hard all year round, and their income and expenditure are almost tied, and they can't save money at all. If you want to spend, you have to have money.
Nowadays, the pressure on young people's lives is too great! Not only do they have to pay off their mortgages and car loans, but they also have to raise children and take care of their parents. No matter how busy and tired you are at work, you have to work hard to earn money, and you can't even support yourself, so how can you have spare money to spend?
Therefore, in order to stimulate consumption, we must first let the people have money to spend. Raising incomes, reducing debts, and narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor -- until these problems are resolved, it will be empty talk about consumption. Stop shouting empty slogans, it's time to get to the real problem.
