Steps to overcome financial mess

In addition, if money/Gold held by all Baba's/religious organizations like temple, mosque, church etc be taken over by the GOI. Black money parked outside India on payment of 20% tax be allowed to be brought into India, provision of designed independent cars to civil servants and public sectors executives be stopped and they be paid transport allowance like others, wasteful expenditures be stopped, we can certainly come out of this economic mess.
