(Remember - my joint checking account pays taxes there now - so I have a vested interest) -

EU has pressured PIGS to go into austerity. Right? But how much more can they cut? And I'm of the mindset that when the economy gets down - start building. Literally. So if you feel like outside forces are taking over your independence - then you have these folks that say - No more EU! No Austerity! . . . oh and no immigrants (muslims, africans, asians, EASTERN europeans) either

You really have to say - this is REALLY REALLY important to me and I'm going from there. . .


Our thing is social services/education/children/elderly/PUBLIC works. My husband will make any deal with the devil to get the economy going again there. We placed an ad for a General Maintenance Couple to live onsite and his brother counted more than 200 apps in our post box there. It's that bad in parts of Italy right now.
