Monti and Art.18

Here we are. The biggest topic of discussion these days in Italy was Article 18. You all know what it is, so  I do not break your balls further. Mario Monti came to the government  promising a lot of economic wonders. At first, the undersigned also appreciated. It was necessary to reduce the spread with Germany's bund and  this wasn't a secondary, useless thing like many may think. Without this, we would end up really bad altogether. So ok, let's go with the  blows to employees and retirees, but not just them. And it worked , the spread is down, we are all (relatively) calmer. But also more, more angry. Because it is clear that if we were able to plug the hole, we did it with a finger, and sooner or later those who put the finger will want to go home. In other words, the ridicolous taxation level to which we are all subjected, sooner or later will be unbearable.
In order to avoid this danger, policies were needed for economic growth. What have been done? Nothing. Only exception, the change in the said Article 18. Which makes it "easier" for a company to lay off employees. And, until tonight, did not provide even that employees dismissed for economic causes later revealed as fake, could not even be reinstated by a judge. All this because we, as a country,  could be more attractive for foreign investments. And because "no Western country" has something like Article 18. I am not a nationalist, but are we sure it's just that (among many) the field in which we should take lessons? Change the labor market does not mean building a situation in wich a forty or fifty years old man can be fired without a system allowing him to find another workplace. What should do, a family man with 24 months of salary? Who will hire him, a forty-five, in today's world? Companies, in Italy, have always fired when necessary. It is not necessary to give them the opportunity to do it so indiscriminately. We're not the Usa, we have a different economic system. I am pissed. Because I have twentytwo years, I am studying at university, and if I find a job no one will give me a mortgage. I do not care about having money, but I would like to have a family, children. And a house, where you can spend time with them, where you can raise them. If I take an indefinite period contract but  I can easily be laid off, who will give me a mortgage? And who will give it to people much less fortunate than me, who can not even count on some possible help from parents? Let's First make the system capable to ensure a large number of assumptions. Then make layoffs easier. Do liberalizations. Levin back to all this burocracy. Open a blog is probably the easiest thing you can do in Italy. It would be nice if it were so for a company. It would be even better if Mario Monti realize that he is running into trouble two generations, young and old people. All people who pay taxes (or would pay them if they found a job ...) and who are all fed up.
