As to italy being in a catastrophic situation, well as ironic as it may seem italy is well insulated from this particular crysis. And the reason is very simple, our financial institutions didn't invest a lot of money in american securities. So while there may be loses and I'm sure there will be, we won't assist to banks collapsing as is happening in other countries in europe.
As to there being consequences for the future I'm well aware of that. But I think that the americans will suffer the most, and this very harsh lesson will prompt their poltical establishment to rethink what capitalism is about.
The real tragedy is that if america goes under so does the rest of the world.
I don't particularly care what happens to them, but I care what will happen to europe.

Rgr that mate....no harm no foul
