Why would the people of Germany want to be in the EU? They are the ones that work all day to subsidize the lazy good for nothings in countries like Greexico
The elite politicians want that, not the people. And they aren’t going to let the people’s wishes get in the way of their ambitions.
“the lazy good for nothings in countries like Greexico”
Many Greeks work hard. However, their economic structure isn’t as strong as Germany’s or even Italy’s.
The basic problem with Greece is that the Greek government borrowed too much money, sort of like a country you know well.
Greece was able to borrow too much money because international bankers and EU bureaucrats weren’t keeping track of how much Greece owed its creditors.
A quick and dirty fix was put in under EU auspices, which only made the Greek debt problem worse.
The Greek debt problem was further enhanced by repeated bailouts, which can’t be repaid in Euros (but might be by Greek supplied services and housing to EU retirees).
Next move. Europe will be renamed “Germania” and the new capital will be Berlin, where it belongs. Starting the Forth Reich that will rule for 1,000 years! Hail Victory! Tomorrow belongs to Germany! Der Tag has come at last.
Because they need the export markets. There aren’t enough Germans to buy all the stuff their manufacturers produce. The German economy is very heavily dependent on exports.
(And the little secret about the subsidies to the Southern Europeans is that those subsidies give the people there money to buy German products - all paid for by the German taxpayer, of course.)
