Spain's women turn to sex for money
Spain's government is desperately trying to reign in spending after accepting a 123 billion dollar package from the European Union in July. And this economic crisis is forcing more Spanish women to take up prostitution to make money. Authorities in some cities are clamping down on the sex trade. Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips reports from Barcelona.

Re: Spain's women turn to sex for money
“Spain's government is desperately trying to reign in spending.”
Translation: the government is working hard to increase Spain’s depression. It is government spending that gets money into the economy. When spending is reduced, the money supply is reduced. Result: Depression.
“The economic crisis is forcing more Spanish women to take up prostitution to make money. Authorities in some cities are clamping down on the sex trade.”
The more the One Percent crush the masses, the more desperate the masses become, and the more brutal the police become, and the more the prisons fill with prisoners. This is a boom time for the private prison industry.
The corporate media legitimizes this by falsely claiming that most prostitutes are “controlled by vicious street gangs,” in the worlds of this Al Jazeera video.
Thus, the bankers force women to become prostitutes to survive, yet the women are “victims” of “vicious Street gangs.” Therefore prostitutes must be fined and jailed to “save them.”
In my opinion the outlawing of prostitution is as insane as the “war on drugs” and the “war on terror.”
