Blaming the Greek people is just an excuse to take your attention away from the real problem. German banks lent money to the Greek government to pay for roads, bridges and armaments that German companies sold to Greece. The Germans got their money. Instead of admitting that they lent too much and taking a loss on their loans as all lenders do when the debtor cannot repay, Germany lent more money to Greece so Greece can repay the German banks and avoid a German bank bailout. Instead of a German bank bailout we got a Greek bailout. 90% of what has been lent to Greece went to repay the capital and interest on loans while Greek people have been squeezed to poverty. The real problem is the euro! The way the euro was designed is to enshrine austerity, this is why Europe is falling apart.
