The fact that expenditures were blithely inflated far beyond revenues for years, and that international competitiveness was lost as a result, is now no longer acknowledged. – See devaluation, fiscal, automatic adjustment, bail-out, banking union, balance sheet adjustment, risk sharing, bank resolution facility, Europayer, EMU explosive, exit, hegemon, mild, moral hazard, Plan C, policy clamp, policy delay, return ideology, debt drug, solidarity, financial, blocked account, stability and growth pact, fundamental error, public debt repatriation, statistics authority, structural reforms, transfer union, redistribution, central bank-influenced, wealth tax, treaty compliance, forced expropriation.
