Euro Notes: Germany and the Greek Implosion

I can't help but feel for the Germans, who are not happy about being asked to bail out the financially feckless Greeks. The little image from a German publication is just icing on the cake.

Paraphrased quote of the day on the irresponsible Greeks and exasperated Germans: "To give more money to the Greeks would be akin to giving schnapps to an alcoholic, argued Frank Schaeffler, deputy finance spokesman for the Free Democrats, the junior partner in Germany’s governing coalition."

Oh, my. Of course, this is matched and very possibly surpassed by the Greek deputy prime minister Theodoros Pangalos recently slamming the Germans by talking about World War II and Nazis stealing Greek gold. *Sigh.* There should be a rule that in any discussion or debate, the first party to bring up "Nazis" automatically loses.
