I find it baffling that other Europeans treat Germany’s current economic struggles as if it is none of their business. In reality, the Eurozone is structured like Atlas from Greek mythology where Germany single-handedly hoists the entire European economy on its shoulders.The reason countries with debt-to-GDP ratios exceeding 100% such as France,Italy,spain,portugal and greece have not faced total bankruptcy is solely because they share the Euro with Germany. The market lends them money at interest rates far lower than their actual creditworthiness justifies based on the unwavering belief that Germany will never let the Eurozone collapse.Furthermore, the European Central Bank effectively acts as a financial lifeline by purchasing the sovereign debt of these nations using Germany’s immense capital and credit as a backstop. It means, Germany’s credit rating is in effect the oxygen mask keeping the Eurozone alive.Given this reality, for other Europeans to mock Germany’s downturn is no different from looking in a mirror and laughing at themselves

>>534374542Only Germany believes in the EUthe other countries just joined because they want to profit off of the arrangement.
>>534374542Alternative is overpowered Germany and anxious world.
We do our part.Actually we should blanda up with Germany, become one of their provinces or something. We'd be powerful as hell together.And Dutch is a stupid language anyway so we would speak German instead, which is actually respected around the world.

Germany isn't saving Europe; Germany is the single greatest beneficiary of the Euro. Germany has used the Euro to export at a much cheaper rate than they ever could have with the Deutsche Mark. They've made an absolute fortune off of usThey are systematically draining wealth from the rest of the continent and then handing back crumbs. It’s not an act of charity, it’s a recycling of the money they took from us in the first place
>>534374542Reverse the roles.Germany = CaliforniaGreece = MississippiCalifornia is subsidizing US and needs to leave the union. Period.
>>534375955Exactly. Before the ECU germoney was the sick man of europe
>>534375955Yes, Germany benefits from the Euro but that prosperity is built on our industrial productivity and fiscal disciplineWhile Germans worked hard to maintain a competitive manufacturing base, many of you were throwing a welfare party you couldn't afford, hidden behind the strength of the EuroBut german people have accepted later retirement ages and strict austerity to keep our economy stableWhy should our hard-earned tax Euros be used to bail out your chronic laziness and fiscal irresponsibility? You call it crumbs? Without those crumbs your countries would have collapsed into total bankruptcy years agoIf this is the gratitude we get for literally keeping your economies on life support, perhaps it's time for Germany to stop being the Atlas of Europe

>>534375955No the Jew is the single greatest beneficiary of the Euro. The average Kraut is a tax cow who's country is being flooded with foreigners and he's being told to cheer because graph is going up. The prosperity of Jewish corporations is not German prosperity, nor is it European prosperity.
