i think the italians managed to this all by themselves. The Euro reference is about the funding (part funding) by the EU. Hey the Romans were great road builders, why not modern Italians.
A Phoenix firm was bidding on the bridge. Who got the contract?
Actually, we're great builders. You'd be surprised to know how many American and Canadian bridges, towers, dams and so on were designed, projected and realized by Italians.
Our problem is that we've had liberals and communists in charge of local administrations for 50 years. No surprise the road was finished with Berlusconi in charge. When given a chance, Italians voted for someone the MSM said was going nowhere. I agree, as all the rest of Europe we are in bad shapes, and yet we ain't dead yet.
We're already paying a high price for pulling ourselves outta the ashaming international policies of the EU. I hope our American friends will be able to do some more deep analysis. And please, don't elect Hillary in 2008!!!
