YOU can't print money--the state can. States don't work anyway, so I don't know what you wanted to express with your comment.

Your remark is a caricature of Jake's comment.

You have to stop trying to get the Greeks to pay for your industrial subsidies.

You want to pursue an export-led protectionist economic strategy? Fine, but don't expect the Greeks to honour any foreign debt that results from stabbing them in the back like that.
