Countries like Spain, Greece or Italy, for example, have a much
higher unemployment rate and leave millions of people without
any hope.
Europe, proud of being known as “state of general well being”,
has nothing but an unstable, fluctuating and uncontrolled third
world economy.
Strikes in Greece are in the news every day, demonstrations in
Madrid or Barcelona, student protests in Rome and in Paris,
London or Berlin.
Meanwhile, the damaged economies are causing alarm and making
the representatives of the markets and finances run.
Greece broke the ice a while back with the crisis of its foreign
debt which forced a quick and debatable credits to attempt to
survive, together with domestic adjustments translated into
unemployment and rapid decrease in the quality of life of its
citizens.
It was known that Germany had violated the sacred community
regulation which establishes that an EU member nation cannot
accumulate debits superior to 3 percent of the GDP.
These days, Ireland is alarming everyone because it should have
assumed the credit given by the EU and the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), while reporters insist that others like
Spain, Portugal and Italy are also on the list.
The
issue could advance much more, because among other things, the
public
money that are lacking today was used barely 24 months ago to
save the
banks, financers and real estate companies that fell in crisis
thanks to its irresponsible behavior and extended speculative
practices.
Same as in the US, birthplace of the debacle that immediately
crossed the Atlantic and in the Old Continent the “pillars of
the system” could not be left alone, despite the situation in
the world while the normal people are now paying the price.
The
news from Washington on the issue seems to be a hoax. Because
now the
“inspired” promoter of the so called post war Marshall Plan has
declared its disposition in supporting the European credit line
of financial stability through the commitment of extra money by
the IMF.
In any case and at least the US through its “program”, is
involved in the European economic issue violating the
differences that still exists among some politicians of the Old
Continent.
We must recall that up until now the first economic power has
not solved the crisis and the most recent official anti fiscal
deficit proposal establishes serious cuts in public spending,
tax increases and the laying off at least 200 000 official
employees in a nation whose unemployment rate stands at 10
percent.
