Although I agree that its wrong to say All Greeks are lazy, Its also true that they didn't manage their money well.

Now I'm not too much of an economist. But I would be annoyed if my money is used to bail out somebody for mistakes they made.



German banks have substantial exposure in Greece and other troubled Eurozone countries, through bonds/loans. Those bailouts (and we're getting a little vague here) are often used to service these debts, allowing said banks to report a profit and pretend their investments were sound in the first place.

Interesting that we rarely look at who lent Greece such vast quantities in the first place.
