An example of wasteful spending that reign in Spain some years ago.

I'll continue, so maybe you'll get the idea... why Spain is a third world country
Speaking of phantom airports, the airport in Valencia was nearly empty jajaja. Some Spaniards getting off the plane with me joked "Are we the only ones here? it's like a ghost town." It was pretty funny, but I'm sure Valencia & Alicante get more traffic than Castellon.
The fact that Spain is one of the leading economies in the world provokes electrical surges in "Deep Fundamentalists" in Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. It breaks their living schemes, it breaks all their weltanschauung. In Spain, most people speak Spanish, so they have to be underdeveloped, brown and eat tacos, if not their fuses blow. Spanish are Papists and have gay wedding, so people in Spain are "ultraliberal taco eaters and tireless burro riders".
One of them was amazed by the fact that there were no Taco Vivas in Spain, and Madrid did not look like East Los Ángeles, he went to explain that probably Taco Viva had another name.
Spanish rednecks are no different, until not a long time ago they thuoght that Americans only drank Coke and were always chewing gum and that they were Cherokees and Cow Boys that spent their free time chasing blacks.
About 20 marines from the US base, "Morón de la Frontera" in Spain, caused violent incidents in Spain, first in some bars and finally they entered a public employment service office and almost destroyed it.
The Spanish reaction. None. The Spanish police didn't arrested the violent marines and they spanish authorites just complaint half-heartedly in the US embassy.
Are our authorities just puppets of the US goverment?
IMHO they acted like that because they don't respect our country, they don't take Spain as if it were a serious country, they know Spain is a feeble country under the US power.
This isn't exclusive to Spain. In every country, the politicians, especially the higher ranking ones, get away with more crimes than the ordinary citizens do
I mean by "third world country" a poor, undeveloped country, plagued with political corruption, with a small rich elite(politician, bankseters, patrons...), a broad mass of poor population, almost deindustrializated ...
I thought about that after a friend of mine sent me a pic from a humor magazine.
I have I read about the new measure the Spanish government is preparing to degrade even further the working condiitons, lower salaries, free dismissal... for amost any reason... if you get sick two weeks... or the boss don't like your shoes.
I we're already not a third world country we are catching up Somalia pretty fast.
Btw, French guys, your country is next...
No, it's still a developed nation or first world as you would call it.

Have you actually been to Spain? It is not a third world country, and in some ways it is much more modern than the US.
"plagued with political corruption, with a small rich elite (politician, bankseters, patrons...), a broad mass of poor population.." Sounds like the US.
kantabriansea can I ask you where in Spain are you from? I suppose from the North because of your nickname but...?
