    But can the same thing happen when you're a part of an economic union like the EU?

It seems that being a part of the EU has resulted in Greece digging deeper before it stopped. Fiscal policy is a key part of a nation's soveignty. I think that is the critical flaw in the Euro. I can't imagine the disaster that would follow if states in the US didn't have to balance their budgets every year.
