- Bonus points for comparing someone who "buys buys buys" and eventually has to pay to the entirely different realm of state finance.
Greeks don't have a such thing as state finance. That's the whole fault of the Euro to begin with. It's absolutely absurd to have a monetary, but no political or fiscal, union. The ordinary rules of money printing don't work when the state isn't controlling their own money supply. I think if nothing else, this saga has really highlighted the shortcomings of the Euro, and shown it to be what it really was designed to be in the first place: a way for the strong economies of Europe to sell exports easier.
