    Hope they don’t adopt the Euro. Maintaining currency sovereignty is vital to being able to actually run an effective government. Without the ability to print money they’re forced to “balance the budget” and that always means austerity.

      Awful take.

      Instead of printing money, they should be raising taxes on their wealthiest.
