I am a little bit sick of reading the "blame Germany" excuse over and over again. Keep in mind that Merkel struggles to make sure the street doesn't get its way. If it were up to the German people (whom she is supposed to represent, by the way...), Greeks would not get a single cent from the EU again and would have to pay their due up to the last dime, even if it would take 1000 years and would beat the country back into the Middle Ages.
Yes indeed, as I've said on another thread, I'm also sick of the blame game, which includes the "holier than thou" attitude of the Germans in this. Germany allowed Greece into the EU in full knowledge of it's loans etc and Germany has profited well and still continues to profit from Greece.
Off the top of my head, the Athens International airport is a German construction, the Rio Antirrio bridge spanning the Gulf of Corinth is a French construction, the Athens Metro is of both German and French contstruction plus German and French submarines, ships and jets etc supplied to the defense forces. Just to name a few and there is more but, please, enough of the hypocracy. A small amount of honesty from both sides in this mess would be so refreshing.
