They have been kicking the can just like the Fed is right now.

Now they (EU) can start crying about the crisis again and blame the Italian peasants who dared to vote against the will of their betters.
Its sure as shootin' that the bankers will do enerything in their power to tank Italy's economy, and blame it on the lack of austerity.

Something bad will happen in Italy to demonstrate that the People just have not suffered enough to bring back the good old days....
