Re: Be careful what you wish for
Hmmmm.
The Germans know exactly what they are doing and in particular regard to Greece.
They went through all of this when East Germany collapsed and was taken on board by West Germany. The even had an entity to absorb all of the public businesses and assets so that they could be sold off in an efficient manner (Treuhand). Thie approach did not work for them either and that entity was vilified in the public mind and lost money hand over fist.
Who was the man behind this calamitous change of events and denudation of the East's assets? Why a chap called Wolfgang Schäuble.
Funny that, I wonder if it will work second time around.
