			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve seen before that Italian politicians <a href="http://chrishanretty.co.uk/blog/index.php/2007/07/20/wahlsystem-allitaliano/">don&#8217;t know much about the electoral systems of other countries</a>. Now we see that they don&#8217;t know much about federalism in other countries either. <a href="http://www.adnkronos.com/IGN/Politica/?id=1.0.2394500776">According to Umberto Bossi</a>,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Senza il federalismo fiscale, c&#8217;e&#8217; il rischio reale che il Paese diventi come l&#8217;Argentina&#8230;&#8221; </em></p>
<p>&#8220;Without fiscal federalism, there&#8217;s a real risk that this country will become like Argentina&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course &#8211; as a moment&#8217;s glance at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Argentina">Wikipedia</a> would suggest -  Argentina already has a system of fiscal federalism. <a href="http://www.isr.umich.edu/cps/pewpa/archive/archive_99/19990003.pdf">One which is derided as inefficient</a>.</p>
