He’s right about that.
Yes, but it did allow itself to be delved into the depth of impossible debt that WWI ‘victors’ forced on it. That debt and despair pushed post-WWI Germany into Nazi Germany and we all know what happened there.
I’m not saying this is the case with Greece because we live in a world that has been forced to be Global, financially. Business will find some acceptable means to keep the income flow viable.
And so in one sense it would be right for Germany to pass the blessing on to Greece.
But in another sense this might not be the right time for it. If Greece is not trying anywhere close to as hard as it can to stanch the waste.
Also, he's not real big on debt repayment in general. His attitude seems to be "If you have it, you don't need most of it."
