Spain and its socialist spending habits have forces austerity on the people. They are retaliating by rioting in the streets.

Socialism doesn't work and we need to get our own house in order.

Spain's current situation is a reflection of a society that has been plagued by corruption, poor management, low productivity and nepotism- Germany is probably more "Socialist" than Spain and it is doing much better than the USA economically!

German is a capitalist society with very few "socialist" safety nets. Care to cite where that qualitative assessment was formally done?
