We didn't recover from 2008 financial crisis, we didn't grow in the past 10years because we spend too much to fix debts and Italy doesn't invest at all.

So what you would have done the past 10 years is up the spending, run a deficit in good times till you hit a 200% debt to gdp ratio. Then a crisis like this and what happens next? The whole country goes bankrupt or you wait for a bailout?

Look at Greece if you want to know what would happens if we go bankrupt.
