What the British figured out 150 years ago was forcing the general public to subsidize politically favored industries by way of punitive tariffs was really fucking unpopular. This was also an opinion shared by notorious Republican demagogue FDR who campaigned against your beloved Smoot-Hawley tariff.
You also really need to make an effort to both read (in their entirety) and comprehend links before you post them. If you don't understand them - ask someone to explain them to you. I would like to say it makes you look ignorant - but your posts are already synonymous with ignorance.
The problems in Southern Europe are both that they are ungovernable and every budget has to pander to the multitude of regional and eccentric parties elected to the parliament - if they even pass a budget before the government falls again. And they combine national passions for the welfare state and tax evasion. And Greece as a signatory to WIPO can't just start domestically producing patented drugs as you suggest.
You have no argument here except that redemption by escalation of some of the most destructive policies in history are supposedly America's only hope. And the working class will be pretty fucking pissed if their next blu-ray player is more expensive because you want to raise the cost of living and seem to believe if by magic wage growth is going to comfortably outstrip the inflation of your creation.
