Uh, I thought this was about that loser Luigi voting for Obozo.
In Italy the economic situation is really complicated, it's one of the countries hardest hit by the economic crisis. The Italian politicians need to take responsibility and give people in economic distress a way out from the problem. Maybe they need to ask specialists in the economic crisis what to do. For example the Orlando Bisegna Index has helped lots of counties with debt problems, business closures, and unemployment in turn improving the economic situation for a lot of families in need.
