"Where do you get the money? - It 's a death sentence." It looks like a dialogue in the film The Godfather , what occupies at this time the front pages of newspapers ( R, C , S), and opposing oblique allusions by EU Commissioner Günter Verheugen at the top of Italian political and economic power: Marchionne, Marcegaglia, Berlusconi, Tremonti, Frattini Scajola. All cried foul, bad taste, severe interference, the "triple error" in German. But no one responds to his simple question. The credit system is in crisis, the gasps of the car industry, Fiat has gone under this year's of € 411 million, yet (9th car group in the world with a turnover of € 58.9 billion in 2007) , is preparing to take control of Chrysler (11 ° group, $ 59.4 billion) and probably Opel (General Motors subsidiary, Group 2, $ 207.3 billion). Yeah, where they get the money?
Strangely, the same question that is used to turn to Daniele Luttazzi Silvio Berlusconi at the beginning of his second term, drawing in a short time the edict Bulgarian (April 18, 2002). Based on some clues - such as the fact that the Knight had taken in the past at home a kidnapper and extortionist Palermo later convicted of drug, murder and the Mafia, or the fact that he had entrusted the foundation of his party to a bank Palermo bibliophile and later convicted for mafia, or the fact that the very night he lost the election was arrested at the Palermo head of the mafia - some believe that an answer could be, then, "the mafia". But today? Where to take the money? 
Times have changed a lot since then. Meanwhile, the opposition does not exist anymore, except for a small minority who continue to argue that the government works on behalf of the Mafia. Then, the President of the Republic and the Council of the Judiciary have intervened to rebuke the judges who tried to investigate the relations among politicians, businessmen and the Mafia. Finally, an earthquake has buried 300 people in the building of sand built by the Mafia and the authorities pursue those who dare to argue that after the disaster may be the Mafia. At the same time, while the whole world through an apocalyptic financial crisis, which seems to require extraordinary government intervention in Italy performs an enviable optimism whatsoever without lifting a finger. As if there was no liquidity problem. Indeed, there are also the means to go save the American auto industry. But still, where they get the money? 
The risk here is of course to fall into over-simplification of a complex and delicate matter that requires bipartisan sense of responsibility requires us to avoid moralizing and demonizing and maintaining the strictest confidentiality in order to respect the popular vote and reassure financial markets and so on. We must therefore avoid keeping in mind the relationship SOS Impresa - Confesercenti of 2008, according to which the Italian company with the most significant annual sales (130 billion €) and above with substantial gains more and more difficult to plow back (70 bn € ) is the mafia. Do not think that just because of this, the Italian capitalism, with the consent of the Left, is supporting a ruthless right of government whose only economic strategy is clearly recognizable in the restoration of lawlessness especially in the financial field, useful to promote recycling Mafia money. It would be hasty to conclude that Italian capitalism, with the approval of the left, has decided to address the crisis of the millennium by using the financial resources made available by the business sector in which Italy has always been a world leader: the mafia. So I would recommend: Aumm Aumm !
