Are we having a Reichseuro yet?
“Conceived as a tool for integrating Germany into Europe, and preventing Germans from dominating others, it (the euro) has become the opposite.”
Germany’s neighbors and allies are growing increasingly concerned about Berlin’s foreign policy direction. Some even fear that efforts to export its fiscal ideas could mean the prosperous country has lost sight of the European idea. Or worse yet, that it wants to dominate the currency union.
You will save until it hurts, I tell you! Sign ze papers old man!

All they have to do is leave the Euro zone to avoid the “terrible oppression” of fiscal responsibility. Instead, they scream for more bail-outs and play on tired clichés to intimidate the German sugar-daddy into coughing up more subsidies. It’s a lot easier than taking responsibility for one’s own failures or reforming one’s own system. What a joke.
It’s pretty self-serving and mendatious to suggest that the Euro was established to somehow box Germany in. Seriously. It’s more of a case of wanting to EXPLOIT German taxpayer more than anything else…
If anything the “brilliance” of German Wirtschaftswunder simply ain’t. As far as the German is concerned, they are benefitting from a Euro that UNDERVALUED for the German (& Dutch) economy, while it’s OVERVALUED for oinker economies of IT, ES, PT, GR, etal.
Essencially, it’s artificially depressed in terms of German output and consumption. This makes them no different than China and it’s rigged up RMB, whose notes bear the smiling, shining forehead of Chairman Mao.
