You're mistaking Germany for a capitalist free-market nation again; they're an anti-capitalistic social-market country. Germany is a consistent violator of that unattainable Stability and Growth Pact (about time we got around to discussing that; thanks for reminding me). They are insisting that everyone else in Europe cut themselves to the bone to attain a spending level of 3 percent of GDP and under, and meanwhile they've been at 6 percent consistently. That's called a double standard.
Yeah, it has nothing whatsoever to do with absurd debt-to-GDP levels in the other nations
Those quotation marks must not be around the word manipulated. It's already a matter of record as to what the ECB has done. There can be no other way that a "sick man of Europe" can dig itself out from under while clinging to the social market economy.
It's all due to "manipulated" interest rates to favor one nation
"Are you defending the very socialism that you claim to decry? because by this consistent defense of anti-free-market Germany, you make yourself appear to champion socialism indeed."
There are two types of socialist countries: There are the tiny handful, that for a variety of reasons, are relatively prosperous- but would be a lot better off if they were pure capitalist (Sweden, Germany), and then there are the overwhelming majority that are complete disasters. Don't confuse the two.
And it seems really telling that you evaded addressing any of the factors that I mentioned that account for the differences between Germany and most of their flailing EU neighbors. (But when you're only on some kind of European nationalist kick, I guess that sort of thing happens).
