What money? The wealthy German tourist didn’t part with any, he conditionally pledged it. And the reality is that all the interest owed to him to by the Greek butcher, pig farmer, etc now exceeds his 100 euro pledge.

Germany invented the Euro and then went around bullying the rest of the playground in to joining its gang and the French went along with it cos it was the biggest gang at the time. Me thinks, the little ginger haired kid in the corner has had enough.
