Greece has massive fiscal and competitiveness problems, but Greece (2.25% of the population of the European Union) is smaller than California (12% of the population of the United States). And California, too, is suffering massive fiscal difficulties and declining competitiveness in some of the industries in which Californians were once pioneers.
佛罗伦萨 —— 当前市场对于欧元的担忧源自希腊危机，这种观点太简单化了。希腊的财政状况和经济竞争力的确存在严重问题，但希腊的国土面积、经济规模和经济重要性都远逊于美国加利福尼亚州；希腊人口仅占欧盟人口的 2.25% ，加州人口则占美国人口的 12% 。加州一样饱受财政危机之苦，并且正在丧失某些产业里的领先优势。
