But when it comes to the proposal of bailing out southern European countries during the 2009-12 Euro crisis via fiscal stimulus, it was Germany and other northern European countries who opposed it and these southern European countries still suffer the negative effects of austerity.

Well yeah we already pay more into the EU fund than anyone else. And we did bail out Greece and others.

You think Germany isn't austere? We had a "no new debt" policy for ages and completely screwed up investments into the next generations in the process.

You don't just get to have bloated, ineffective, corrupt governments for decades and then Germany has to bail you out whenever shit hits the fan.

Fuck that. Get your shit in order for fucks sake.
