(Reuters) - Spain's center-right opposition stormed to a crushing election victory Sunday as voters punished the outgoing Socialist government for the worst economic crisis in generations.
Voters vented their rage on the Socialists, who led the country from boom to bust in seven years in charge. With 5 million people out of work, the European Union's highest jobless rate, Spain is heading into its second recession in four years.
Rajoy's bitter medicine for the economy will probably make things worse before they get better. But he has said Spaniards are prepared for the painful austerity that is needed to reduce a swollen public deficit threatening to push the euro zone's fourth economy toward a perilous bail-out.
... We will stop being part of the problem and will be part of the solution.
Most Spaniards are resigned to deep spending cuts and see Rajoy as a better steward for the economy than the discredited Socialists, who they blame for failing to act swiftly enough to head off the crisis and then belatedly imposing biting austerity measures that slashed wages, benefits and jobs.
You can replace "Socialists" for their politically correct American term "liberal democrat". However, the last 50 years of Presidents that have lived in our White House wearing Republican/Democrat labels are equally to blame.
It's time for America to go back to it's True Conservative Constitutional Government and Free Market Capitalism.
Yet that won't happen while the occumorons focus on Wall Street while the criminals laugh in their shivering pepper sprayed faces.
