Is it this social politics?

Mr. Zapatero did some declarations this sunday about the crisis (well, he does not want to name it this way, but it is a crisis), and the priorities of its ministers and government.

Mr. Zapatero said yesterday that he, and his government, cannot resign to go deeper and deeper on his social politics. And he did some examples: he will not resign to attack the hunger in the world, and he will go deeper in the economic helps to the third world, to help the poorest countries.

Today Mr. Blanco, the secretary general of the PSOE, is defending the social politics of the government, asking to the PP what investments should be resigned due to the crisis: the high speed train to Valencia or Santiago de Compostela, for example?

Well, first of all. Mr. Blanco is, as always, a demagogue. He is inept and fool. He cannot know that even in crisis times there are investments that should be done. Which ones? Those that allow the growth of the country. For instance, infrastructures.

But the real thing is neither Mr. Zapatero nor Mr. Blanco does not know to handle crisis, as any socialist cannot do. Mr. Zapatero is talking about silly things, diverting the attention. In crisis times, it is very important to prioritize the investments, and, as any housewife, it is important to reduce the extra costs. And investing in reducing the hunger in the world sounds good, but it is not important at all to the Spanish people. It is not important at all for the growth in Spain. What is social politics? Nothing important to the Spanish. When a housewife does not have nothing to eat, he cannot give anything to her neighbor.

The difference between a demagogue and a leader is that the first always talks about nothing, empty words. The second just acts. The first (like Mr. Zapatero and Mr. Blanco) diverts the attention and do not act at all. What did Mr. Zapatero until now to beat the crisis? Nothing. Diverting. Acting as new riches with the money of the Spanish. That is exaclty that he will do from now. Because he does not know do to anything else.
