Since 2008. Printing money in the U.S. kept things from getting far
worse.

Printing Euros is a terrible idea because it would have drastically
different effects on the member countries. Had countries stuck to
their own currencies they could use monetary policy to help things get
better.

As I said previously, you can have too much of a good thing. Also, you
can take a good idea, and screw it up. But if it is a good idea, and
something goes wrong, it can be fixed.

Bridges collapse. That doesn't mean that building bridges is a bad
idea.
