Surrealism

The Italian GDP had a negative growth rate of 4.9% during the first quarter of 2009. The number of workers on technical unemployment (with subsidies) has increased of about 50%. The president of the indistrialists association talks about crisis and recession. Sales of cars have dropped by 35%during the last month. Sales of houses has dropped 15%. What is all this ?

People all over the world say that there is a crisis but not Mr. Berlusconi. For him, the crisis is a psycological perception, it does not exist de facto, it is the journalists fault.

"I believe that the worst is behind us", he said yesteraday, "there was a deluge, he added, but then everything came back as before, better than before". Ans, he claims that his goverb+nment did all what was required: however just yesterday, world financial statistics showed that Italy invested 1/10 (0.2& of theGDP) of what on average the world invested to address the crisis.

And the stupid Italians will still vote for him.....
