He should have told them to just print more money.
That’s how we do it here in the good ole USofA.
That's the major part of the problem. France uses the euro. Countries in the eurozone have no individual currency to devalue to spur their economy by making exports cheaper and tourism cheaper. The eurozone either has to break up or the individual countries will need to cede financial control to a federal government. Though some will say that if they can find a way to pay their debts and institute individual country financial control the current system can survive with just a little more federal type control. Place your bets Ladies and Gentlemen!
