Thanks for your comment, where you expose the truth!
What I am witnessing here in Italy, is the madness of a rule - included in our constitutional law - called "Pareggio di Bilancio", which makes it impossible to carry out works useful to the community in the absence of the budget, which is only mere numbers.
Over time, little by little, we have been led to believe that money is a commodity. Instead, it is mainly the unit of measurement of value and must be created (or destroyed) based on the amount of value to be measured, isn't it?
