Germany tells Greece to stop asking for help and start cutting budgets
2012-06-25
Germany has told Greece to stop asking for more help and get on with implementing the reforms it has already promised as tensions mount before this week's crucial summit of European Union leaders.
They did cut budgets -- they increased them by only 20% instead of 30%. That's a cut, right?

#5  ..a new Deutsche Mark which would quickly become one of the world's strongest currencies.

That excludes the Chinese model of artificially keeping the monetary unit low to maintain exports and business.

#3  As are the Germans who, by a significant majority, now support a new Deutsche Mark which would quickly become one of the world's strongest currencies. This, in turn, would cause the price of exports from Germany's export-led economy to skyrocket & their economy to quickly collapse. Either the Germans continue to subsidize Club Med (on Club Med's terms) or they suffer a Great Depression of their own.

#2  Yeah good luck with that Germany. The Greeks, Spaniards, French, Irish, Italians and Portuguese are done.
