Well the hand outs only results in others paying the price when infact the politicians have ripped off the tax payers for years , so for America or any other Nation to bill the tax payer for the failures of the Gov is not an answer as the unrest will cost more than one knows.

Once the youth is joined with the middle age in the streets the game is over as security will fail .

It has to be a Global answer to this debt thing , not a singal nation thing . The strikes that have yet to come will be a clear signal that printing coin is not an answer as the rich will become richer and the poor decline further into dispair .

Spain’s economy debacle will most probably pull down other EU nations and I guess that day is not that far. So Other EU nations should have their contingency plans ready, lest tough times are on the horizon. Spanish media’s has another huge problem. They tried to concentrate on the Euro Cup and other social issues when the country is neck-deep in damage control.
Albeit the certain austerity means that the govt has taken recently can be a huge uplift in the Spain’s economic status, but they should have been a more Pragmatic.
the money lent to spain might pull them out of this debacle but they should be more aware of such conditions as this is not the first time this has happened to The EU.
Spain needs a Evolution rather than a Revolution.

I think that the trio ( Greece, Portugal and Spain can come out of the crisis by organising foot ball World cup Boys and an olympic for below 18 age to activate and fill enthiasm in the younger generation to fight for the nation and build it again.

Consider this:
Drug money if funneled back into our lives instead of OUT of our lives would have lifted the world economies to not even BE in debts.

Drugs are so pervasive in every country they have to take a major portion of the blame. Next time you drive down your city streets just remember no matter how nice you “think” it looks, wwhere’s the covered walkways? Where’s the streetlights every couple of homes? Where’s the absence of chugholes? Where’s the city service we don’t have because 75% of city funds goes tto police departments who turnaround and don’t stop crime anyway? Where’s the many things we blindly accept to do without that we don’t have because the one big reason that such a tremendous amount of our city, state and national net worth is going into the hands of drug dealers south and NORTH of the border, and thats no way to stimulate an economy or pay off debts or increase standards of living@!!!

Left unchecked, parasites kill the host. The unions and welfare mobs have sucked the life out of Spain and it’s now time for both parasite and host to die.

There is in fact a solution to all this mess in the US. We have STATES, and each state is (or should be) a self-reliant entity. This is accomplished by chartering state banks and issuing credit OUTSIDE of the corrupt regional and federal reserve banking system (and the FDIC) as North Dakota did shortly after (1919) the Federal Reserve system was created in 1913.

You don’t have only two choices (austerity or stimulus). You have a third choice, and that is a state by state constitutional credit system which RESPONSIBLY lends to advance infrastructure maintenance. You don’t extend unemployment, you enable jobs. Everyone collecting unemployment–here’s a bus ticket to the gulf coast–you’re on the cleanup crew.

Beyond that, the states can revitalize this copuntry’s economy and state banks have assets–buildings, land, people, upon which to capitalize and lend.

It’s so simple. It’s been the solution a dozen times in the past. It’s working in North Dakota today – why doesn’t anuyone listen?

How do you prepare to survive global economic collapse? That’s what’s coming thanks to universal adoption of fiat currencies.

If the 10th largest economy in the world (Spain) fails, it will tear the EU apart. If the 7th largest economy in the world (California) collapses, it will wreck America. But challenging California for first to default are New York and Michigan, with a dozen other states very close on their heels.

My personal solution has been to buy property in a country with a high level of subsistence farming, where a large percentage of the population is accustomed to taking charge of their own sustenance. Cities will be death traps because they are so dependent on infrastructure and the infrastructure is so vulnerable to disruption.
