The joke about all this is, that the german economy is "oh so strong", the only reason why the economy was kept alive over the crisis is that the wages have been lowered and at some point projects got pushed through that allows to force people to work in so called 1-euro jobs. For this they take unemployed people, those receive a amount of unemployment money and when they refuse to work up to 30 hours per week (for 1 euro the hour) they get stripped of the unemployment money. So basically the economy got fat and healthy while even lost their jobs so that the employers could "hire" cheap working slaves. The whole system we have in germany is not meant to get people jobs, it is just to keep them busy and silent.
Greeks didn't do this damage to them selves. The government and the politicians did. Now it's dangerous for them to walk unprotected down the roads cuase people throw eggs and in some cases stomes (would love to see a watermelon)
The truth is that every democratic nation has a government it deserves.
