Italy's Possible Next PM Says First Priority Is To Get Out Of The 'Austerity Cage'

He has a good first priority.
The idea of loosening the austerity cage is growing a bit more popular in Europe.
Yesterday Bloomberg reported that EU Commissioner Olli Rehn said it may be appropriate to loosen some deficit targets.
