Quotes

Mark Bergfeld, "Interview with Francisco Louçã, Economist and Leading Member of Portugal's Left Bloc"
During the visit of newly-elected Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta to Berlin on April 30, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: "I think budget consolidation is now interestingly labelled with the word austerity, which is otherwise not used in Germany. We did not even know this word before the crisis." And her Calvinist Minister of Finance, Wolfgang Schauble, echoed: "Growth and austerity are perfectly compatible."
..." So anyone who today comes up with a cockamamie argument such as: "Oh, even if we'd had Glass-Steagall in 2008, we still would have had the crisis" is either imbecilic, or lying through their teeth...
Almost 2,000 votes is very creditable particularly because the Labour Party message on the street used the scare tactic of "if you vote TUSC you will let the right-wing present mayor back in"
