You keep trying to bring the topic back to numbers in a computer rather than physical goods and services. Why? Also, clearly the Germans do reap the benefits of their labor. Blatantly false. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/germany/balance-of-trade http://www.tradingeconomics.com/germany/balance-of-trade http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/balance-of-trade http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/balance-of-trade You even acknowledge this one sentence later: "Germany needs a monetary union so that it can be the exporter it is." I agree that the Germany government is, in part, responsible for policies that make Germans poorer and Greeks richer. So what? It seems like you want to blame Germany since unfortunately the only solution for the Greeks is for the Germans to keep sending them even more stuff (even though the Germans didn't make the Greeks unproductive).
