9. The distress signals coming from the American system are much more subtle than those emanating from

Spain.

Here, for example is some socially ominous data:
Lower-paying jobs, with median hourly wages from $7.69 to $13.83, accounted for just 21% of the job losses during the recession. But they've made up about 58% of the job growth from the end of the recession in late 2009 through early 2012. Los Angeles Times

15. Because women will advocate more cuts to see more! Can't take credit for this comment, but it came

to mind after seeing your post....

"Firefighters from the Mieres Fire Station in Asturias, Spain, decided on going all out in raising awareness of the severity of austerity cuts levied on the most basic of services in the nation. After the latest round of austerity cuts, firefighters along with other civil servants had their effective pay slashed by a full fifth, along with new sales taxes focused on middle-to-low income wage earners. The firefighters have had enough, and decided on showing their displeasure, by showing exactly how much the austerity will cut.

So, the firefighters stripped down to just their hats and boots, and sporting a sign which reads “With so many cuts we have been left naked” to make their point:

After the measures by France to address their debt issue without austerity, to see Spain stubbornly clinging to the failed concept is quite disturbing for the Eurozone. Perhaps this move will lay bare the problem and expose the politicians to some fresh ideas. It is not as if anyone is expecting them to perform the full monty here, but it couldn’t hurt."
