Massimo - I don't think his/her joke was that bad. Basicaly stated what I asked you in the past, how come Italy has been allowed to subsidize your airline for this long when other EU countries had to stop doing that with regards to SAS, KLM, etc.? A legit question.

As far as the 85 billion - I don't think an Italian should be giving us lectures on keeping a balanced budget, wouldn't you say? Since the end of WWII has Italy EVER had a balanced budget?
