If France's borrowing costs spike, that's a eurozone stability problem."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Because the ECB's job is inflation, not rescuing governments."},{"host":"Brian","text":"But you can't have a currency union where one big economy's debt crisis spreads everywhere."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Then the answer is fiscal rules, not a central bank backstop."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Fiscal rules have been broken for decades.
