I know you are being rhetorical but even New York Times would agree the Greek government is more corrupt than the German government. I was trying to point out the moral relativism at work in painting Greece as a hotbed of corruption, and Germany as paragon of financial virtue. What I think is not helpful here are moral arguments over debt full stop. Nation states are neither moral nor people, and you can't 'teach them a lesson' which is the basis of much rhetoric around Greece at present.
