I'd like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a blessed 2013.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your whole house, my friend!

Saw your post in the Cafe. You are alive and well.

Hey hpyo, you missed the point, it's NOT the official Spain report, it is an opinion by a Koch brothers funded "think-tank" professor that was pushed out there as fact by the past Spanish President. If you do a little research, that took me less than 10 minutes you'll see in fact the "Spanish government" itself says it not a true study.

Using a debunked right-wing author Gabriel Calzada, as "proof" that green jobs cause job loss is foolish. Look up your sources BEFORE you spout non-existent evidence.

Yeah, I remember riding my mini bile out our back yard, Through orange groves, out through Yorba Linda and on into Chino area. Now, Solid City. I lived in Garden Grove, Went to Pacifica high, Before moving to Placentia. Will be there July 7th & 8th. Still got a LOT of family there.

Small world. I often say that if you go to the left side of the huntington beach pier, You can still see my butt print in the sand.Practicaly lived there. You say Diamond Bar, Wow, I went to Valentia High School in Placentia. Just a few miles down the 57 Frwy. I lived in just about every city in O.C.

San Diego, A beautiful city. I grew up in O.C., So Friends and I use to go down a lot. Not sure how the political winds blow down there. Fortunatley, Here in the central valley things are a little more conservative than L.A. or the bay area.

L.H., What part of Cali. are you in?

Obviously you haven't read what say you've read. You are apples and oranging the policies of Spain. Every green job, is a job, unemployment caused by factors outside of that is just unemployment, not "caused" by green jobs. Spain went on the "austerity" craze and like EVERY country that has done so, was enveloped in a massive wave of unemployment. Right now there are massive demonstrations against them because of the unemployment caused by them. Recently people in several of those countries have thrown the voodoo economics of austerity with no cash improvements out. There has NEVER been a country EVER that cut it's way out of a recession or high unemployment---EVER...
