Spain!
Wow... I follow BBC World Service and financial news on CNBC here in the
states. I hear Things are Great Depression/1930's kinda bad in your patch of
the world. A telling vignette for me regarding your country was seeing three of
the hosts on cnbc (a business channel where deregulation, smaller govt, and
less spending is 'the party line') jointly saying "Spain has been doing the
'right' thing and cutting like crazy for a few years, but that it hasnt stopped
the recession and very delicately saying it's time to try 'something else' to
get economic growth to return. Without growth of some kind it won't get
better." The 'something else' they danced delicately to not say out loud, of
course, being deficet spending which is anathema dogmatically, but dogma was
coming up short in their view. If Business Network talking heads in america are
crossing up on their dogma to say such things, the economic situation for your
country must be a real train wreck.
I hope the situation improves soon for Spain and allof the EU countries for
that matter.
Sincerely
Richard Ward
