"Rehn says IMF/EU deal can't be renegotiated"

Can anyone answer this very simple question: a few weeks ago we were told, repeatedly, that we don't have to go back to the bond market until March. If that's the case, why are we rushing into a contract now? Has that much changed?
 
Headline changed to now read:
"
Don't re-open key parts of deal - Rehn

"

Because it's now about saving the rotting euro.

Leaving it until March would have been economic suicide. We would have run out of money, no one would lend us money at rates we could afford, so anyone employed by the government or in receipt of welfare wouldn't have been paid. A country can't afford to let these things go until the last minute.
 
And we can afford for a dying government - on that knows it's dying, and knows it won't have to deal with the fallout - to sign away our future?

Our future was signed away five years ago when we failed to properly manage our economy. Our choices are quite limited at this stage of the game - we got bad, or really bad - it's just trying to decide which is which!

he hid it in the clover
the hen died and Ollie cried
and now the partys over
