I hope we keep it as last.

What do need to be done?
What is obvious for you could not be obvious for me or someone else.
But, mainly, what is obvious often can not be told.

Is not what to do, is how to do.
In Italy they talk about reducing the tax burden, but no one dare to 
speak "reduction of the expenditure". Someone speak about 
reduction/elimination of the primary deficit, but no one explain how 
obtain it (apart vacuous hand waving).

Well, the leftist parties in Europe are reaping what they have sowed in 
the last years and decades. They are in disarray.
The bigger problem is that too many statists exist in the center right 
and they are in important positions.
Now, with the EC Stealth Constitution in place, we risk to be entangled 
in a ever enlarging bureaucracy accountable to no one.

The problem is "What revolutionary movement?".
There are a few competing groups that would be more than happy to seize 
the moment.
