Quoting: monfra [link to www.elmundo.es] This is happening now in Madrid and other Spanish cities. Police have charged and dissolved protesters for the third time today in the Spanish capital. Here's how the Forefathers of the Eurozone worked this whole thing out... 1) Hey, we now have a Eurozone! All you have to do is join us, then we will lend you lots of money, then you will be very productive and rich! 2) Each country joins the Eurozone, borrows the money and begins to get rich. 3) The countries that borrowed the money and they worked toward getting rich, but something strange happened... They not only didn't get rich, but they ended up owing monsterous amounts of money with no way of repaying it. 4) So the Eurozone tells them that they should never have borrowed money that they couldn't repay. Then demands that these countries go into super austerity budgets in order to repay the loans that were supposed to make these countries rich! (Hey! Doesn't this sound like the housing lending crisis that sank the U.S. Housing Crisis?) |

If Spain cuts back, it will affect another country and if they cut back, another country and so on... Quoting: Anonymous Coward this is why they call it.... gee, A GLOBAL economy. We are so intertwined that one country cannot roll over without all the others bouncing on the bed. You have it exactly backward. When countries cut back THEIR PRODUCTIVITY everyone gets hurt. Spending means shit in and of itself. It's their spending in EXCESS of their productivity that hurts Don't talk tripe. This is global capitalism. Global labour output is well in excess of consumer spending. What isn't is the leveraged betting that made massive demands of labour output well in excess of what workers are able to give off themselves, or the bailout recipient market. Not only do your bawsses expect to have a divine right to gamble in this manner, they expect the worker to carry their losses. Workers of the World, Unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains! |

Everyone talks about welfare state here. I give the example of Kindergeld? I ain't taking for the Spanish either tho. They do save though and aren't really frivolous with their money. They don't run a super huge military as percentage of their GDP. They are very ecxacting in a lot of ways though. Just walk through a "ghetto" in Weisbaden, Mainz, or Frankfurt at night. Big difference. It doesn't matter what you SAY. The julios aren't productive enough to cover their costs. PERIOD. Whatever, I just know Germans. I do know they consider Americans to be fat, lazy and selfish bums. I guess I'm gonna have to ask some of them to see what they are talking about over there. I and a lot of Germans have railed against the Eurozone. You oughta have heard my landlord raising hell about the "Easties" when East and West were reuniting. The banks have pulled the same crap over there (a little different) as they did here. To give the "Julios" a bit of cover. They did have a few decades of Facism dictatorship (Franco) that put them behind the rest of Europe. That only goes so far though |

Kicking the can down the road does nothing but dig a deeper hole. It's time for Rome to burn so that we can finally begin to rebuild with some new ideas. You know, like GET OFF YOUR FUCKING ASS LAZY-TARD ideas. PRODUCTIVE IDEAS. NOT WELFARE IDEAS.

The wars that are ongoing are necessary to remove the impediments to globalisation of capital as well as bring otherwise nationalised resouces to the open market. The Russians, Iranians and Chinese are in cahoots with the Western centres of capital in NY and London (as is most of the world including the Islamists). Assad is not as co-operative like his fellow Baathist, Saddam. This is not to say that Assad is a radical, not by any means. He wants to be able to dictate to the centres of capital which he is not able to do seeing as much of the planet, from the centres of capital to the mercantilist nations of Japan, German and China, are very inter-dependent, for the time being. Remember my words in 5 years time, OK 'cos change aint coming anytime soon? edit: the financial problems reflect a skewed capitalism that harkens back to the Cold War perks that were given to the Western masses to avoid them rebelling, like a stake in capitalism, ie house ownership. Now that the Cold War is over, many of those houses will be turned to rentals as many Western workers are reduced into tenants.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19550911 It's time for you Julios to realize that you're not worth what you cost. It's high time the Krauts teach you about economics 101. Spain is the 5th biggest economy in Europe if Spain goes the Euro goes. If the Euro goes then Germany will have to go back to the Deutsche Mark which will be higher than the British pound therefore bye bye export economy. The only reason Germany has been doing so well the last decade is due to the fact that the Euro is very cheap compared to the level the Deutsche Mark would have been, fueling the sale of German products abroad. Try to sell it however you want. The bottom line is, Spain is NOT good for the debt they already have. The well is running dry. It's time for the Julios to cut back to the point their lives are sustainable. They're 30 years behind working two and a half days a week to catch up. There is NO WAY the euro is going to work with so many freeloading countries (PIIGS). good point. if europeans worked more like americans do then maybe you guys wouldnt have such a mess. then again if americans worked more like say... china.. then we wouldnt have our mess either hehe Yeh, let’s work, work, work and work until it kills us.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19604658 07/12/2012 05:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is what happens when the socialists run out of other people's money. All these Spaniards got used to not working and getting paid anyway. Margret Thatcher hit the nail right on the head when she said "The trouble with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money". Spain ran out of other people's money. Now they have to adjust to working for a living. It is unlikely that they will be any more successful at that than the Greeks have been. More likely, they will follow the Greeks down the path of begging for hand-outs. Quoting: Epic Beard Guy Just exactly what Americas useless eaters are facing soon. We are facing the same thing. How many on food stamps ? Disability ? unemployment ? We are not far behind. The only question left is if we will get off our asses or go down with the ship. And you guys after all did set the ball rolling in 2008 as a result of a crooked and incompetently regulated financial system. Your bankers were going to the races using your hard earned money then expected to be bailed out when it all went pear shaped. No different in Spain or Greece or anywhere else. |
