Yep I'd vote for you Paolo. Although I don't think you can blame Germany for the state of the Italian economy, as neither Spain nor Greece can. The European Economy and the World is suffering from years of negligent and wasteful spending in the name of buying votes.
The Australian Economy is in relatively good shape because we had a Government that balanced the books and ran a surplus for many years. After a couple of years of socialism we are now in deficit, but don't worry we can print more Dollars, or better still bung on a carbon tax.
The World would do well to remember the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper.
