Wenn es nicht so tragisch wäre, könnte man die gegenwärtige Euro-Krise mit reichlich Galgenhumor auch lustig finden. Während ein Krisenplan nach dem anderen scheitert, wirken Europas Very Serious People, die noch pompöser und selbstbezogener sind als ihre amerikanischen Gegenstücke, von Tag zu Tag lächerlicher. http://www.fr-online.de/meinung/kolumne-europas-arrogante-elite,1472602,11079716.html

Germany's economic success over the past decade is largely due to exporting more than it imports. Who will it sell to now? Greece's economic crisis is a gift from heaven for the German government.
