Bread for Today ... And hunger for tomorrow

The announcement was enough of a change in the minimum retirement age to get the unions to the street and cause the anger of most citizens. The worst, however, is that a craven and cowardly Government has crumpled to the first opportunity. Is this a government tempered for us out of the crisis?

So it seems unwilling to hold the strike by the horns, after threaten to freeze the salaries of officials, immediately proposed as a way to reduce the deficit not to replace the nine out of ten employees who retire. That is, more unemployment.

Both feared the unpopularity Rodriguez Zapatero, who prefers to stay in the crisis to demand shared sacrifice to overcome it. You have seen that has armed marimorena in Greece with his harsh anti-crisis measures and nobody will catch on something even remotely similar.

The downside is that to create jobs is to change the labor market and, of course, end the golden early retirement and severance wages for executives. Also, although it's hard, reduce short-term benefits-including even the so-called co-pay health-preserve order within thirty years. Of course our politicians only thing they care about is the next election: the problem of the next generation do not care.

Not to bind us, as the males, we can not indefinitely withstand the 22 or 23 percent of unemployed people that economists such as Professor James Child Catalan, unfortunately expect we will soon arrive.
