They were doing some things that are really f**ng us. Now we have to pay around twice money for attending college, we have to pay for going to the doctor (in Spain it's free, no matter what kind of doctor or where are you from). To keep our scholarship we have to pass the 90% of our subjetcs at college, bills are increasing, people who work for the government are paid less money (I mean police, nurses, doctors, teachers, firemen, and more people), and they already increased VAT twice (now we have the highest in Europe, I think).
But it seems this were not enough. My father works for the government. He works at a hospital, and, like a lot of doctors, nurses and all that people, depends of the government. And now one of the ministers says there are no money to pay them. But also can't pay doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen, firemen, and all the civil servants. It's crazy.
My father is the only person at my home who has a job (I just live with him and my brother, who is still studying), and now we don't know if he's going be payed for long. We don't know it's like a threat so we don't go to demonstrations and strikes ("at least they are still paying me for working, it could me worst") or really Spain is that broke.
So, we have to postpone our holidays until we know that for sure. It seems we found a little place to go and maybe next week Ill be away for a few days, but now, we are fucked up. We have some savings, I finished my degree and don't have to live in the city or pay for college another year, but my brother does. We afortunately don't have a morgage and we own our house, so the situation could be worst... but we have to save as much money as we can >.<
Did you hear about what's happening? What does foreing countries know about this? I'm curious.
I reached 1,000 visits to my DevianArt profile, so I'm preparing a little surprise to celebrate








No, I haven't heard much about this, but I haven't been checking the news a lot lately. It's very depressing. I'll ask my boyfriend if he knew anything about this. He checks the news religiously.
This is crazy. Luckily it's not that bad here in the US yet but I think that's only because our government is ignoring the problem. Sooner or later something is going to break. I fear governments will collapse and our corporate system will crash. That might not be a bad thing though, i mean, for there to be a change in our government and our economy style. It would surely be like the great depression though. Fend for yourself, you know?
Ah well... all we can do is hope for the best and make the best out of this right? And be prepared for anything.
Since we can do nothing about economy and governments, the best we can do it call for the "revolution" or something that can force the change as soon as possible, and as pacifically as possible. And then, hope for the best
Here... things are just getting more and more politically stupid. :/
Anyone likes it. It's crazy, if someone is ill we have to take care of him/her! It doesn't matter if they were born in Spain, Germany of Bolivia, they are people and any doctor would let them feel sick (or stop giving them treatment).
I know in US you don't think this way, maybe it's weird what I'm saying xD
At least they're not taking away everyone's health care, and they're still paying government workers... right?
We just... we say "vamos tirando". We keep holding on. Hoping for the best, and trying to live a day at a time. We can't really do anything, although people are saying they are going to camp outside the Parlament on September 25, and maybe they will break in. I don't really know :S
