The local thieves, no goods and scoundrels you know are less dangerous than the ones that collect at the puss-filled cyst of central government. Over time, they become isolated and insulated from anything but money, power and influence which the collected dispered citizens last.

They may like it now, but if it is allowed to continue and to fester, they’ll be sorry.

There are important lessons to be learned from the situation.
Less Government is often better , more efficient government.
I knew nothing about this until just now.
Other countries don’t want you to know about Spain’s little experiment.

It’s almost like having their own internal “Spexit.” We would do well to learn some lessons there, folks.

What does the situation in Spain mean for the rest of the world?


It means Texas, which allows the state legislature to convene every other year and then for only 140 days, is a step in the right direction.

Belgium didn’t have a federal government for almost two years and got along just fine. We certainly are being fleeced by the government we pay trillions to rule us deplorables.

But but but they have nobody to tell them how to live, what to eat, dangerous things to avoid like your meal will be hot when removed from the oven after baking an hour at 400degrees. Is there no one they can sue? Oh, wait, Spain, not the US.

Imagine the outcome if, for just one year, all of our federal income tax withholding was returned in full to each of us...

Belgium went over a year without a central government. Just looked it up - almost 2 years (589 days). Spaniards are pikers.
