Italy, another increase on gasoline taxes

The Council of Ministers yesterday approved the draft reform of the Civil Protection. As had been widely publicized, it was necessary to find the money to fund it, given the lack of resources. It was initially thought to a charge of 2 cents on every sms, while at the end it resulted to be a tax of 5 cents on gasoline, in case it is declared a state of emergency. The idea that the fee is applied only in case of need have not to be altogether thrown away, is a correct principle. The problem, however, is that the increase of excise duties on petrol could (being optimistic) be more permanent than temporary. The historical reality tells us that the  Italian State has always been very fast in increasing taxes on fuel, but it was very slow, let us say motionless, in removing them once the emergency ended. We are still paying taxes to fund the Vajont disaster, the floods in Florence, several earthquakes, the war in Ethiopia! These things are certainly not new to the reader, my reflection is rather on real professionalism and ability of our government at this time. Italy has perhaps never been ruled by skilled people, at least recently, however I find that  the principle for this government is that for every requirement you should use a tax increase. I am just saying that the previous governments were able to practice even more imaginative strategies. Perhaps some hint of an attempt to stimulate growth. This government has increased taxes on gasoline at 8 cents in December, a figure never heard before, not to mention IVA(additional tax on all the amount) ... it has increased the retirement age and introduced the IMU (tax on houses). Now I wonder, with all this money, what have been actually done? Why did not seem at all to me it has been spent to create the conditions for growth which can avoid in the future having to always resort to taxation and simliar measures to keep on the country? Someone could impute me to neglect the fact that the crisis that the Monti government has faced is one of the worst, perhaps the worst ever to hit Italy as we know it today. It 's true, but for this he was called, with his squadron of heroes flying alongside. At a great crisis, we wanted to answer with a group of people with great skills. For now, have only been shown to be able to put greater taxes . I do not suppose this was meant when talking of great skills...
