The same as you dont no nothing about what happen in European Union.<br />In spain, the media of unemployment is 27% but there is even differences in the regions. While in northern spain the unemployment is no more than 15% in southern spain is in 40%.<br />But there are two causes about this problem.<br />One, while in the northern spain is richer is because is more developed, with industry and technological companies on the south the socialists destroyed even what the industry make it by Franco and the only thing that was the southern spains economy was the construction and the late introduce about renewable energy. <br />With Crisis, the boom of construction and reduce of the investments in renewable energy has sunk the southern spain totally.<br />Second, The spanish government cant do any investment to create jobs or simplify to made it. Why? Because Merkel has bound Rajoy to worry principally in paying debt. That provocked the increase of the taxes and the sinking to the small companies. With no posibilities to do any policy to reduce unemployment, Rajoy decided to do a labour reform in order to promote temporary contracts and facilitary to dismiss employees. That benefit companies to make this kind of contracts that arent bound to put above minimum salaries.<br />Thats why spain is sinking. Because its in german hands because is in the Eurozone. If the Eurozone decide to change the policy spain will recovery from the crisis.<br />Thanks that you have other currency apart form Euro that saves you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442492383687661768.post-3438547749973641332014-12-22T14:33:29.745-05:002014-12-22T14:33:29.745-05:00Wow, so much anger.

But also agreed - we are only hurting ourselves!<br />The way I see it... women are afraid to bring issues to the attention of the man for fear of appearing needy, over-analyzing and dramatic. So if the man is more encouraging toward the woman to share her feelings he may end up getting more sex. <br /><br />If the woman can think of ways to share her feelings while at the same time providing a positive message (and some examples of what he's already doing right and encouraging him to figure out how to change the behaviour that caused the issue) then maybe he will be more willing to accept to constructive feedback.<br /><br />The worst thing for both parties is to not communicate in order to avoid conflict.

The U.S. claimed independence during an age of religious reform embraced by colonists and not accepted by Europeans; therefore, the U.S. created the best government system. Other latin american countries followed but weren't involved or perhaps weren't educated to form an efficient system like the U.S. Also whether a country does well or not doesn't depend on how old they are; for example, india and new Zealand. It all depends on attitude and sadly I have seen complacency and no ambition within my people. In my opinion, whether a country does well or not also depends on religion since religion founds certain behaviors, morals and work ethic. Americans and Canadians have been blessed with a great positive work ethic while latin american nations have not. In latin american countries time is more important than money while in developed North American countries money is more important than time.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442492383687661768.post-3307579554645816232014-05-28T09:01:02.795-04:002014-05-28T09:01:02.795-04:00The problem in Spanish speaking countries is an in...The problem in Spanish speaking countries is an inheritance from Spain centuries ago in how the country is run, its laws and 15th century politics. To impose a 21% sales tax on a country that is broke is no way to assist in a financial recovery, It is this type of political thinking that holds Spain back. It needs a new political party of the 21st century.<br /><br />Spain's education system does not rate in the worlds top 20 and its universities are not in the top 200.<br /><br />Spain needs to assert itself before it can help other Spanish speaking countries. Corruption starts in Spain, so it is not surprising that it is in other Spanish speaking countries. <br /><br />In my opinion all Spanish speaking people are hard workers and need good government to help them, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442492383687661768.post-28485156810499855522014-04-01T17:44:13.859-04:002014-04-01T17:44:13.859-04:00Wow Chuck, you are a great person.
