The Spanish Mentality !!

Postby sinbad » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:57 am

Can somebody please tell me the logic as to WHY, when the country clearly has no money :

1) Tolls on roads increase - and therefore fewer cars use them - meaning that tolls are then put up further as there are fewer cars contributing to the overheads

2) IVA is increased - so people who already have little to spend, are spending even less ...

Why haven't they realised that this is counterproductive and that they will soon need to introduce further cuts and tax increases when this hasn't worked ?

I don't think that anybody can answer this one - but then again, I don't think that anyone is surprised by this short-sighted approach either.

I think somebody has forgotten to take their finger off the "self-destruct" button.
