Re: Do we want free movement of capital in Europe? (none / 0)

Renzi is applying Troika austerity with a vengeance, new taxes a-gogo from Padoan. All Mv5 initiatives for wealth distribution rebuffed. (Renzi's big idea was a risible E80 a month 'gift' to middle sector workers).

The 'Caste' is still going strong with 90% of its bloated privilege intact.

Where did that come from? Podemos uses the term in Spain.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman

Maybe that's where Pablo Iglesias got the term. He studied in Italy.

I believe you that austerity is going strong.

But I need numbers. Does anybody now where I find numbers for the debt service of the crisis countries?
