Exactly! Greece wants for example 500m to build 14 unnecessary new airports. Germans win the contract to build airports. Greeks realise there was no point in the airports and they aren't generating the cash to repay and sell to Fraport the german airport operator at a knockdown price say 150m.

Re: [LU] NONLU: EU

The answer is they do, but it's kind of illusory because most uk citizens in the EU are self funded retirees. They do not impact the job market and are a net gain to the host country, spending their pensions and so on. In terms of the Greek debate. I get that they ran out of money, but they
