POLITICALLY INCORRECT On numerous occasions, the people closest to me, which included family and friends, I criticize my constant political harassment, my visceral tendency to berate and point out the flaws of our political class. Perhaps they are right and suffer from a critical and advance prejudged by my unconscious. Believe me I do a lot of effort for not being "politically incorrect" but, in view of events, I could not help falling back into temptation.
The events I refer to are many and varied, it seems like they've been settling gradually, up to overflowing my fragile "store", and gates should be opened to flow freely.
live a crisis situation so intense that we all know and its impact: sales decreased by low consumer activity, rising unemployment, collapsing property, suspension of payments (thankfully dropped oil) rate increase in electricity, gas, etc, and the public authorities are asked austerity but this recipe does not seem to affect them, they continue to spend excessively on the superfluous.
few weeks ago came the news that our Prime Minister, has 656 advisers at an annual cost of 28 million euros. The Deputy President, Luis Herrero, said it was a necessary provision to reply with "diligence" the thousands of parliamentary questions to the Government. Given that, to date, the Government has responded to a total of 133,315 questions, and only if those employees engaged in that work, they have had each advisor, an average of just more than 200 questions in the legislature (4 years), ie, 50 questions per year, or a week. Do you think a lot of work?
In full crisis is well known excesses of the President of the Catalan parliament in the acquisition and improvement of its new Audi A-8 Saloon "at a cost of 130,000 €. Noted that this man is moved almost daily from Reus (Tarragona), where she lives, to his office in Barcelona. It might have been less costly to pay a rental housing. The Valencian Community has just adopted a budget for 2009, including a round of € 850,000 to renovate the fleet of 14 vehicles. Do all at once? Of course all brand Audi. Those who recommend us to save energy and be environmentally friendly, using cars that consume more, pollute more and more expensive. The President of the Xunta de Galicia say has spent 2 million euros to remodel his office and the Mayor of Madrid, Mr. Gallardón, while asking the locals austerity, the salary goes up by 11.3%, with debt-ridden which is already the city. The renovations of government departments are not carried out functional criteria, to provide better service to citizens, but these properties by coating and irrational ostentatious luxury.
From the Royal Family, Prime Minister, regional governments, municipalities, and other government, wasteful spending abound. The crisis is a thing of the ordinary Spaniard, who does not complain, which meets its payment obligations and pay their taxes cursing the "bajini" to the end, having to live after a lifetime of work, with a pension stunted, or lose your job and see how the bankers (the ones here and there), which led, - with their greed to obtain high yields by investing in high-risk products - the current economic crisis, are rewarded with public funds on highly preferential terms where boast outrageous profits.
could say it is a kind of corruption that not a crime. It is a crime to take money home, but use it in an irrational and abusive spending, approved by the majority is not .... And then, there may be no money for schools, clinics, hospitals, or lack of medical professionals in all specialties.
