...It only took the liberals and the socialists seven years to practically destroy Spain. It only took them seven years. It wasn't that long ago that they elected this far-left government after 9/11, because the terrorists blew up a train station, and the leader of Spain wanted to cave and give the terrorists whatever they wanted to make sure that there were no more terror attacks on the train station or anything else. That was a rebuke to Bush. Was a rebuke to Bush. So the people of Spain elected this far-left, fringe government. In seven years, less than seven years, with a green jobs economy. It was one of the foundational building blocks of the new socialist regime, green jobs. They created 21% unemployment.
They did exactly what Barack Obama's trying to do here. Obama's on a faster pace than the leftist government of Spain. He's been less than three years, and look at the destruction. It took the government of Spain seven years, but the people of Spain said no mas, don't want it anymore, voted en masse for conservatism.

You obviously know very little about Spain's history of high unemployment under any party rule. The fact is that unemployment continued to decrease under the socialist rule until after 2007 when almost every economy started going bad. The unemployment rate had little if anything to do with the socialist agenda.
the socialist government reined in spending.
they had a housing bubble, which burst.
they were hit by the world economic crisis.
unemployment is at record high, especially for people under 25.
the population did not like the austerity measures implemented by the socialists after and during the crisis.
rajoy has done nothing but sit back and wait.
now he has to deliver.
rajoy just got elected and is not officially in charge until before Christmas according to the Spanish Constitution...
....but i suppose you just want to parrot the liberal media's instant negativity about him because nothing has magically and instantly corrected the situation...the current situation which was caused in large part by the socialists in power for the last 7 years...
....socialist things like raising the minimum wage....health coverage that covered every little thing....rent subsidies....$3,500 to mothers per child born......you know all those expensive things that socialists never seem to figure out how to pay for...and let's not forget all that expensive "green" stuff....
yes... Zapatero has recently attempted during his second term to contain costs.....because the only alternative was bankruptcy....
Spain was doing well when he took office.....but ever since then the country went downhill....no wonder the Spanish people are fed up....
