...billion shutdown scheme that the E.C. and member states plan to sweeten with $3.1 billion more for unemployment benefits and retraining. After last week's fiasco, officials pleaded for more flexibility from Rome. But either way, the lesson is clear: the longer the delay, the more painful the cure...
