The last time Germany needed a bail-out from world creditors, it secured better terms than shattered Greece last week.

The last time Germany needed a bail-out it was the loser of a world war - it had lost much of it's labor force, it's cities were in ruins and the eastern area of the nation was gone. All Greece is losing is the fantasy that it can live the good life on other people's money. There's nothing wrong with Greece that the radical shrinking of government, a 40 hour work week and a realistic retirement age can't fix. I have no sympathy.
