David,
That is what I was pointing out. The fiscal problem is big. However, this is an ongoing issue. Since I was a little boy, it has been the same story. There is no work..........people have to go elsewhere to work........the government does not care........the government is corrupt.
This is old news. However, under the current economic situation this "old news" is magnified and the pinch is worse now. Not to mention, at least this is the consensus with the Italians I spoke to be they middle class or wealthy, that the coming of the Euro which drove prices through the roof while salaries were kept the same does not help.
