- yequalsx 16y agoActually, the money will end up getting rerouted to Deutsche Bank and other German banks. Germany has promoted consumption within the EU. It is the number 1 (or number 2) exporter in the world and most of its exports go to other EU countries. If Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, England, etc. go down guess who suffers too. There is an imbalance in the system and it needs correcting or else Germany will suffer along with the rest of these countries.
- s1rech 16y agoI guess some action is needed. However, it was not so long ago that huge sums of money were spent throughout Europe to avoid a collapse, or so they told us, and here we are again opening our pockets, and greece may be only the first one in line. That kind of bothers me. (and I'm not implying that german politicians are the only sane ones or something. They are probably so reticent because of fear of losing an election)
- yequalsx 16y agoIt would bother me too. My girlfriend is German and she's upset with the bailout. My point to her is that if the whole world were like Germans who would do the buying?
