"The market shakes relentlessly English debt" (La Vanguardia)
"Ireland will lay off 25,000 staff within a hard adjustment plan" (Country)
not know you as you remain after reading this, but I, English-born, an official in opposition and wimp by nature, I've been scared shitless very worried. And I've been to think (a day is a day).
I tell you, for starters, I very striking figure so spectacular that 25,000 staff. I find many. And I wonder, how many staff in total have Ireland if now be loaded at a stroke many? Then I read in El Pais that those 25,000 represent 7% of the total, so making the calculation gives us that Ireland has today more than 350,000 officials.
Many? "Few? Well, depends, to evaluate this figure will have to look at the number of inhabitants in the country. It sounds to me that Ireland is a fairly small country, but let's look at the wikipedia which is much more savvy than me, to see what he says. Then they can not reach the 4.5 million inhabitants. Well, by another simple calculation then gives us the percentage of public employees , with respect to the total population of Ireland, is 8% . Let's look
Spain, which is what we want, to see if we have a similar percentage of staff. According to the Central Personnel Registry in Spain are 2,700.000 officials. If we do the same with Ireland, put that figure in relation to the total population, gives us that Spain is somewhat lower, is less than 6% . Ie in 100 English 6 are officials. If instead we use the total population only population active (that is of working age) found that 14 of every 100 workers do so in any public administration.
A bit silly, right? Why should not we be in crisis if we are almost 3 million parasites? The ones in Europe, for sure! Fixed, fixed!
No, however much some be committed is that we are in the European average level far below Germany and France, for example. And a curiosity, the list is led by the very countries cursed, the famous PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain), but Denmark, Sweden and Finland, efficient and entrepreneurial economies. Take, take. So, those looking at our public sector the source of all our problems and systematically associated with "public sector" to ruin and lack of efficiency and competitiveness maybe they should start looking elsewhere.

But they will not, because those writers and political those against the officials who carry what they want in reality is to reduce the public sector. It is no secret, is one of the traditional ideas of the conservative or liberal. And I fear that our country remains in the spotlight of the markets, this government, that one knows that color is, so end up doing. He who comes after, of course, and with more intensity and joy than today.
Just curious, if Spain will perform a similar dismissal of civil servants and Irish, you know how many staff would (or would go) to the street? 189,000 officials. Total ná.
conclude with two clarifications. The first is, as stated in the hiding place for me and all my teammates. Public employees should remember that these officials are not only vague typical Forges jokes whose main business is to throw the game, drinking coffee and making paper airplanes. They are also to educate our children, we operate, who put out fires, etc.. And most comply with the obligations of our work as any Currito. And we have achieved our place not by lot or plug, but on the basis of study and after passing a difficult test, which, incidentally, are open to anyone who wants to appear. And most of us mileuristas that neither drive Audis, or have a house on the beach, or do our shopping in Serrano precisely.
And second, returning to Ireland with which I began the post, say it clear that the crisis in Ireland is primarily a financial crisis caused by their banks that the speculative euphoria of the boom years are over stars and have opened a hole billion euro first had to cover the Irish own administration (thus much of its large public deficit, no pensions or salaries of public servants) and then the European Union. Come on, that the failure of the Irish banks to pay all Europeans neckline. What is often called "socializing the losses." The benefit is mine, all losses are.
And after the above bank bailout comes the most severe, harsh adjustment measures that we all suffer. Those who paint us as the only way out of this and that are becoming the standard recipe being implemented one after the other all the governments in whose countries have submitted the uncle of the deck, lowers wages, pensions, increased the age of retirement, dismissal of staff, reduced social spending, etc. This phrase sums up the title of this post or this one far more slang: "on top of a bitch, to bed."
