Wonderful speeches were made during the campaign. Recently Obama held up Spain as a model the U.S. could use to help get America back to work and "Create" new jobs.

Well, a ne study shows each green job Spain has subsidized over the last 10 years has cost 3 other real jobs. The price has been $700K for each. Sounds like we are right on track.

of course we can.

We can send all of our manufacturing to asia.

And each green job can cost us 1.5 million. 5 million green jobs (fake), loose 30 million manufacturing jobs.

obama for the win!

On the upside, I hear the women in Spain are really something. I don't think we can import that aspect, though.

My cousin's wife is an anesthesiologist from Spain. He is a house husband who gets to take off for climbing expeditions to Mt. McKinley and the Himalayas from time to time.
