若有些人担心财政货币贬值将会与欧元规则相互冲突，则可以援引德国举例即可。 德国政府2007年实施了一项类似的计划（没有公开说明 ） ， 将增值税从16％提高到19 ％ ， 将雇主对社会保险的贡献率从6.5％削减至4.2 ％ 。
And concerns that a fiscal devaluation will conflict with euro rules can be met by simply pointing out that Germany’s government carried one out in 2007, though by another name, when it raised VAT from 16% to 19% and cut employers’ contribution to social insurance, from 6.5% to 4.2%.
