It's the economy, stupid
When we think of Bush the father did not usually have a very good picture of it, mainly because of its destructive reproductive capacity, but shortly before the 1992 election, Bush was considered unbeatable by most political analysts, mainly because of its successes in politics outside, as the end of the Cold War and the Persian Gulf War, then his popularity had reached 90% acceptance, a historical record.
In these circumstances, James Carville, strategist for the campaign of Bill Clinton, noted that it should focus more on issues related to the daily lives of citizens and their most immediate needs. And in order to keep the campaign focused on a message, Carville stuck a poster in the central office with three letters:
- Change vs. more of the same
- The economy, stupid
- Do not forget the health system
Although the cartel was only a reminder of, "It's the economy, stupid" became a kind of unofficial slogan of the campaign of Clinton, who was critical to alter the balance of power and defeat Bush, something unthinkable earlier.
In the 1992 elections in the United States, compared with tax cuts and spending proposals by Bush, Clinton spoke of a new fiscal policy to punish the highest incomes and an improvement in those aspects of society that, his opinion, made a big country (education, health, ...)
In Spain it seems that in the campaign, the economy was not a defining issue in the U.S. but it may be. Undoubtedly, we will have to be very attentive to the McCain-Obama fight because as we have seen, its crises affect us more than what is desirable. Will the economy which force the change?

This is my business. Today in forums like this is talk of layoffs, of mileuristas and freeze salaries. Well, this is nothing with which they have mounted some companies. For example in the mine at a plant in Caceres did not have to do any of this because there is no need to fire an mileurista with the salary freeze, but just a bit of mobbing:
What you gonna revise the CPI for workers?
What are you going to pay him a salary if a fellow seeking the post and left malcontratrar for a year?
What you gonna renew the scholarship or raise the salary of this? If you do not want 600 euros post and another that wants to come
What are you going to raise the salary to workers depending on their job or worth, whether it is better "takes up only one that does not deserve it and you have 30 casualties" (no layoffs) and so there is room for 60 or 70 more trainees to exploit a year?
Well that, in many sites do not have to fire you, you only open the door, they teach you the way to it, even you comment that you're not going to reach the position you deserve (at present) until within 7 years . If this does not pass to swell the lists of unemployment ....
Just a year ago, thousands of news like this http://www.elperiodicoextremadura.com/noticias/noticia.asp?pkid=252839
one could read in every newspaper in Extremadura and now I see why a company such as this grows and works perfectly: 50 fellows at € 600, 50 vocational training with minimum wage, 50 workers with salaries of less than one thousand euros and 50 others remaining are the heads who support the policy of wage restraint from the government "except in their pockets.
Well, I better not peñazo this morning because I can "give a scholarship" (not firing) and say that in times of crisis if you do not miss, this is what we have left and we must accept that with a salary of less than thousand euros you can buy a lot of Vaseline.
So from here say that there is no sense in the war Cipotecados / cipotealquilados because in Spain there are cipocontratados and thank you do not miss it but what remains is the cipoparo.
A salute.
