The EU is taking the wrong approach to solving the economic crisis in Greece.
The solution is very simple. The EU countries with a trade surplus should should buy goods from the EU countries with a trade deficit.
Buying goods from Greece would give them both income and jobs. Job creation is very important to Greece because they have an unemployment rate of 26 per cent.
Greece cannot pay its debts now. If the EU lends Greece any more money it will only make the situation worse. As the richest country in the EU it is primarily Germany that should be buying goods from Greece. Greece cannot borrow its way out of debt, but if people buy goods made in Greece it could trade its way out of debt.
