Whole Sale Earths Best

sleep peacefully ... U.S. NOI I BUONI!


Chiudo le pagine del quotidiano e per un attimo I am assailed by a doubt: who are the good guys?
The cold war comes to accounting for more than a thousand dead in the Gaza Strip: civilians, militiamen, but in the end because it is difficult to distinguish against troops, planes, helicopters and Israeli tanks, has not beaten a regular army but who, in a people afflicted by the hardships of the embargo, had the strength to do it, then finding himself more involved than digging through the rubble looking for victims. Yet
was violating the truce with Hamas to launch rockets from Gaza into Israeli towns, which is why the reaction of Jerusalem must be justified, and certainly it is not to blame if, in an attempt to annihilate the fundamentalists, it affects civilians, since the first mix between the houses and the streets of Gaza with the innocent citizens: we know that the tragedy of every conflict lies in the suffering that the people who are suffering, wars took their respective government representatives, in most cases they would rather avoid. In this case, however, the question returns: what if civil and fundamentalists were the same people, or still living under the same roof for real blood ties? Then the choice of breaking the truce would be crazy, inexplicable form of collective self-harm that is dictated by Islamic fundamentalism that fuels terrorist organizations that are shaking the world in the name of jihad.
But there is another justification for such a chance: despair.
Yes we are talking about a people, the Palestinians, more and more exhausted by the lack of the most basic means of survival imposed by the embargo.
not forget the images that only a few months ago, showed us the people to break down the high walls of the wall being built around this territory, in search of basic necessities, the same people who today look for a way escape by digging tunnels into Egypt, the same people who, in all likelihood, then, is willing to break a truce against an enemy stronger and more influential, not because of ideology, but of survival: after all who would not rather die fighting for their right to exist, when the alternative was to die of hunger, thirst or cold?
probably also because of such considerations, now Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-current, guilty of having turned back after a feeble attempt to intervene, said that the Israeli reaction was "excessive", but it is then necessary to ask why is not stopped, or at least mitigated, if it has also aroused the indignation of the United Nations.
has not raised a chorus of voices a chiedere il “cessate il fuoco” se non da qualche manifestazione di piazza: la maggioranza del mondo politico sembra essere rimasta a guardare, e anzi numerosi leader occidentali, così come il più dei politici italiani, sono arrivati a propagandare, attraverso televisioni e giornali, il dovere di sostenere Israele in questa sua battaglia per il diritto di esistere.
Eppure sembrerebbe che fosse la sopravvivenza dei palestinesi ad essere messa maggiormente a repentaglio, stando alle notizie che giungono fino a noi, confidando sempre che non vengano prima opportunamente “filtrate” per ridimensionare la portata degli attacchi inflitti da Israele.
Sarà pure il solito ritornello, ma considerato what is happening and given the reaction of the world, no one may ask, once again, how far the tentacles reach of those lobbying for economic and political power which refer to Jerusalem?
And how likely does not reflect on the influence they may have in making decisions about international politics?
should be considered then a final point, some already mentioned earlier: the partnership between the U.S. and Israel is unbreakable, the Western world, including Italy, do not seem to find the courage to paddle, if necessary, against combination of Washington-Jerusalem, the UN, the most important international organizations, seems to suffer from the same disease, all statements in this part (as "Verba Volant").
said that it is easier to understand how easily the strength of the front "pro-Israel", has been able to guarantee Lead Time carte blanche in the transaction.
breaking news now says that Hamas has agreed to a truce if it is true that usually gives the bad then we won, we're the good ... and then we can sleep peacefully.

SPECCHIETTI PER LE ALLODOLE...


But the league wants it Federalism?
O for the league the term federalism is a smokescreen ...
One way to say to get votes?
And what the league wants to federalism? But not only the league, what we talk about federalism?
publish in this regard, an article by our new contributor:
"I was imagining a scene more or less evangelical.
A diverse crowd, wildly diverse, fragmented in a random order ... 'infamous horde immersed in a wave of nauseating busy swearing in the activity that most suits her: Order!
And there, front, softly silent awaiting trial, you ... adultery federalism!
Adulteress, of course.
Courted by most, but incapable of a stable relationship. - Continuity with the image.
Under "who has never adulterated with it, having always respected and honored, let him cast the first stone", I would expect to see a flying rock thrown from an unusual character named League, claiming sinless and stably married to it.
But instead, nothing ... not even a pebble.
And then the disappointment of the crowd ... bye
see, there's a worm in my mind, that haunts me now for a bit 'of time, I was able to isolate and identify, and it is this: is there anyone who really wants'm blessed federalism??
For my efforts, I find no yes!
But maybe I'm thinkin 'a bit' of confusion: political federalism, administrative and fiscal devolution. ... Mah
Then I tried to see and analyze it from the perspective of those who at present is in the forefront, and dealing with everyday ripples of the government-citizen relationship, is in the trenches at the front: the common.
It is now known to most that federalism is that "political doctrine array Enlightenment (eighteenth century) that rejects the separation between states and proposed federation" (Encicl. "The Garzantine).
In Italy, federalism as early as 1945 to have been inspired by some active autonomist movements, and with more determination, since the '80s, the Northern League. At its most masterful, or political-institutional federalism transfuses its peculiarities in the so-called administrative federalism operational (defined as a transfer to the regions and local government functions and financial resources of the central government) and federalism (understood as a principle officer of the tax system under which local governments decide, at least in part, the measure of tax burden in its territory and receive the proceeds).
The term decentralization (devolution), indeed, adopted dalla Gran Bretagna nei confronti della Scozia, si indica il trasferimento di poteri dallo stato centrale alle autorità locali, al fine di accrescerne l'autonomia decisionale (nel 2001, il governo Berlusconi aveva istituito il Ministero senza portafoglio "per le riforme istituzionali e la devoluzione" assegnandolo a Bossi).
A qualunque di questi concetti io faccia riferimento, fatico a scorgere, nel nostro paese, risvolti operativi ed applicativi di una qualsivoglia forma di decentramento.
Il dubbio che sempre più mi assale, ma che al contempo lascia sempre più spazio ad una fastidiosa certezza, è che, in realtà, il federalismo nessuno lo vuole, nemmeno la Lega.
Perché? Boh!
Forse per paura di a loss of power and authority from the state.
It 's true that in 2001, with the Constitutional Law 3, which led to a substantial revision of Title V of the Constitution, the work of structuring of federalism has been a milestone, but it is equally true that the problems are many applications still open and that, to be honest, a few steps back has been done.
Article. 114 of the Constitution, as reformulated by L. Est. 3 / 2001, defines the substance of the Italy of the joint: "The Republic is composed of the Municipalities, Provinces, Metropolitan Cities, Regions and the State. Municipalities, provinces, metropolitan cities and regions are autonomous entities [...] ".
The list of what the Republic is just part of the Municipalities.
And this is no accident.
E 'public administration closer to the citizen.
Without going into technical and academic discourses in and doctrine on how this reform has affected the relationship between the sources of law, and the relationship between the state and regional legislative power, it can be argued that the legislature has the constitutional right laid the groundwork for the political-institutional federalism (art. 114 Cost . above), for administrative federalism (Article 118 of the Constitution
"Administrative functions are attributed to the municipalities [...]"), and the financial and fiscal federalism (Article 119 of the Constitution "Municipalities, provinces, metropolitan cities and regions shall have independent financial revenue and expenditure).
But these solid bases (bases are constitutional!) Are not followed equally strong federal policy.
fact. Often
steps have been taken in the opposite direction. Let us see what.
municipal revenues are divided into two broad categories, those ones and their derivatives. Those depend on their ability to raise resources (or taxation: ICI, public spaces occupation tax, imposed on advertising and on public billboards, or the provision of services to individual applications: gyms, sports facilities ...), those derived stem (exactly) paid by transfers from central government. The more own revenue, a percentage of total revenue, the greater the financial autonomy of the Commune. Well. Until 2007, every town of Italy in 8100, could count on sharing income tax of a certain size, or a portion IRPEF that the state collects the tax base of the municipality, he returned to the municipal coffers. This portion, up to 2006 was approximately 7%, from about 2007 to 0.7%. This lesser amount was offset by a greater transfer state representative. Not bad, I say, because the municipal budget does not change anything. Not bad, sure, except that the partnership income tax "snap" revenue municipalities the ability to produce income of the citizens of that town, while transfers / fees, any link between the wealth produced in a certain town, and the town itself is not. With the partnership, a portion of taxes levied in a given territory, return to that territory, the transfer state representative, no! Reduce the cost will outweigh with transfers / fees, therefore controlled by the central government, federalism is a choice? But we
ICI. One of the first things done by the present government was to abolish the ICI on the first house. Very good. But you know the continuation of the story? This was only the first time. The second is not. The revenue forgone ICI certificate T his fair by each municipality, is offset by increased transfers / fees. Well
. Abolish the ICI (local tax), offset them with transfers / fees (central government) is a federalist choice? Probably I'll be accusing anyone of not wanting to reduce the tax burden. But this reflects
someone: for the Town Hall coffers does not change almost anything: instead of cash in respect of ICI, the municipality collects as a transfer. The money that was paid as a transfer resulting from taxation of the entire national territory. This means that the money that the first citizens of the City of Mira paid as ICI, now do not pay them more, as the same amount is paid by all Italian citizens, but equally, the citizens of Citadel, will pay a lower tax ICI citizens of all other municipalities in Italy ... any reference to the territory is lost!
We also think about the constraints that the state requires each municipality, for the enforcement of the Stability Pact, on spending (a couple of years ago, also on individual items of expenditure). Where is the budgetary autonomy? The Prodi government had foreseen, as a sanction for municipalities that did not respect the stability pact, the increase in the municipal income tax for the citizens of that municipality. Although the questionable principle that the consequences of mismanagement of the local administrators were allowed to fall on the citizens, was the federalist principle of responsibility to the directors in the eyes of its citizens.
The current government changed the system of sanctions, imposed strict controls and cost constraints which effectively cancel out the financial autonomy of the town ... That's funny ... I do not say it was more federalist than the current Prodi government, but if At least, doubt creeps. I'm
federalism is courted by several political parties, but it seems that nobody is able to establish a stable and enduring. We will see with the new code of local
League ... what will happen if you're there, knock once! "

UNA SUPPOSTA EFFERVESCENTE: LA CURA ALL'ATTUALE CRISI ECONOMICA!


"[...] that all 'wise princes should do, who relate, not only have to have regard to these scandals, but to' future, and those with any Obvi industry, because, by providing a distance, it can be remedied easily; but is waiting for you appressino, medicine is not in time, because the disease has become incurable "
(" The Prince ", chap. III, Niccolo Machiavelli).


E 'can not be denied or, worse, pretend nothing happened! One of the worst "These scandals," that is of concern both to the rulers of nations, as the simple housewife is the current economic crisis. Started on tiptoe, almost quietly, pretending to be a trivial financial crisis, apparently a headache for the few professionals or for those challenging the adverse gods, gambling the stock exchange, has grown by acquiring the features of the crisis in the banking and credit system, but after first American world. Yeah! And this development has led to the metamorphosis of this crisis, which, in spite of myself, has shown to us poor mortals his true identity crisis of the economic system. Mica pinzillacchere eh! I mean. We're not talking about stock market quotes, financial indices, parameters, access to credit ... or anything that is seen with mysterious nell'immaginifico collective distrust sometimes irreverent. Of course not! We are talking about demand, consumption, real economy ... the one with which both the housewife as the politician they face daily.
But
"c'azzecca" Machiavelli's Prince with the crisis? - Before proceeding with the answer, I apologize all'avveduto reader, who read the engraved quotation marks (which, as such, as noted, is not mine and which I ask no claim authorship), may have had a sudden jolt visceral ... but this is it! The wise prince should have regard to the future problems that may gripped his community, and it attempts to remedy by any trick, so having the same ineffective if there could be remedied without too much effort. Aihm But, as the sharp vision, can barely see the horizon policies, principles, and so wise ... this crisis has happened "between cup and neck" in less than no time ... and here it is, like a putrid fever, the funny and blatantly disrespectful to any therapy: it seems that now, "the medicine is not time, because the disease has become incurable "! But do not despair. Since Machiavelli 1500, to make himself look good in the eyes of the Medici, showed off his talents as an expert in political science, medicine has made great strides ... so do not despair. But we still feel a bit 'what he has to tell us our friend Nicholas.


"[...] nel principio del suo male (si fa riferimento al tisico, ndr), è facile a curare e difficile a conoscere, ma, nel progresso del tempo, non l’avendo in principio conosciuta né medicata, diventa facile a conoscere e difficile a curare. Così interviene nelle cose di fatto; perché, conoscendo discosto (il che non è dato se non a uno prudente) e’ mali che nascono in quello, si guariscono presto; ma quando, per non li avere conosciuti, si lasciono crescere in modo che ognuno li conosce, non vi è più rimedio”.


Cinquecento anni fa era noto che, sia in medicina che nelle cose di fatto, nel suo principio, un male è facile da curare, ma difficile da riconoscere; di contro, nel suo stadio avanzato, lo stesso è facile da riconoscere ma difficile da curare. Il problema è proprio questo: quali sono gli elementi che permettono al politico, “prudente”, di riconoscere un male? Quale politico avrebbe potuto prevedere la crisi e a questa “con ogni industria obviare” ? Qual è, oggi, il politico “prudente” , ovvero quello che ha riguardo agli “scandoli futuri” ? Il rispondere a queste domande è di fondamento ad ogni terapia e ad ogni politica! In tasca non ho l’identikit, o il manuale del bravo politico. Ma sono convinto che per differenziarsi dalla pletora di politici ed amministratori formato Ikea , To compose the circumstances and according to the preferred design, the political expression should be true of a party which, to use a phrase from my dear friend, "really has his soul in people." Who but the people, and provides signals from elements on the health of civil society? Who but the people can provide input on developing the economic fabric of a country? I therefore believe that the local roots and civil society is the condition sine qua non for good politics. And that it has roots in the time when the people, through democratic mechanisms and steps Congress, to choose their own representatives

... Let's come to our crisis. We have heard about economic recovery to boost the competitiveness of the system, oxygenation of the banking system ... we have heard a lot going on! I think the first step to end the crisis resulting from its own people and institutions closest to it: the local authority, the City! For years this taxation and Europe, we stress conditions, more privately, as they must be red or green peppers we buy at the market, milk quotas, the amount of tomatoes produced per hectare of land, exchange rates, the interbank interest rates .... It 'not very well known thing? E 'union, the European Union, born out of marginality (sweet peppers, the currency), but that does not have the cultural and political thing ... And so the various charges is the so-called stability pact: to try to control public spending, the EU imposes the objectives, limits cost to each member state. With a cascade mechanism, and according to the autonomy and sovereignty of each state, the latter requires, in turn, the "sub-targets" to each branch of the Public Sector: Health, Universities, Ministries, Regions, Provinces, Towns ... Nothing negative, in principle. If it were not for the manner in which these objectives are imposed on the municipalities. First, there is no difference between common and common: they all equal, all gray cats, the largest town (regional capital) to the smallest. The City of Milan is treated the same way as the City of Citadel ... No local feature is taken into account, not local peculiarities to be respected ... In short, even the shadow of federalism! But even more ironic is that in the calculation of spending limits, we take into account the payments that the City needs to do because of work already contracted, and contracts in the past ... it illogical and devoid of common sense, as alloy choices future policies of the past. The paradox is that a municipality may trovarsi, se nel corso degli anni precedenti ha appaltato una moltitudine di lavori pubblici, a non poter, di fatto, rispettare i vincoli imposti dal patto di stabilità (a meno di vendersi i gioielli patrimoniali di famiglia)! Un comune che volesse rispettare il patto di stabilità potrebbe essere posto nelle condizioni di non onorare impegni contrattuali precedentemente assunti (bloccando i pagamenti), esponendosi anche ad eventuali azioni risarcitorie. Risultato: molti comuni, ad esempio dell’entroterra veneziano (e parlo per esperienza), con disponibilità di milioni di euro nelle proprie casse, sono costretti a tenerle congelate, bloccando o per lo meno tardando i pagamenti. E la contropartita qual è? Una moltitudine di piccole and medium-sized businesses suffering liquidity, which in turn slow to fulfill its commitments with its suppliers, which, with shortages of cash, we will credit the salaries of their employees ever forward, who ... .. which ... ... .. CRISIS! Yeah. I'm really convinced that the first step to end the crisis resulting from the people and institutions closest to it. Wow! We free the common constraints of the Stability Pact, and an injection of oxygen to the economic system is guaranteed. And we know what the system is based economic development in the Northeast. On the strength of the medium and small enterprises and family on the company ... and looks a bit ', those whose fortunes are more tied to the local.
.
Probably (but I do not think, if only for a while 'presumption of sound), I proposed a solution format that Ikea is not good. But if so, someone hurry to find the right medicine before it is not time, because the disease has become incurable ", otherwise it is fine for my medicine, even if considered a nuisance effervescent suppository!
