The cost of labour has fallen drastically in Greece! And in fact she has been commended for achieving the greatest reduction in labour costs in the whole Union!

Now, why is it that he unemployment has now reached first place in Europe at 26% and growing?

Isn’t cheap labour supposed to lead to the opposite?

Hmmmm….

Imagine that! An upstart American (possibly of Jewish origin… hmmmm?) actually having the cheek to tell Herr Schauble, the mighty Herr Schauble, Master of Europe, that perhaps he may not have got it right? What can an upstart American know about Herr Schauble’s sublime plan for the European economy?

So he sent the Mr Jacob J. Lew, the U.S. Treasury secretary packing! In a very arrogant Teutonic way. Because Schauble is the only one who knows, really knows how to handle the European Economy. He knows he is doing the right thing and in a few years he will have set Europe right!

Well yes. As in he will have given a Final Solution to the European problem.

Now if that is not the definition of Hubris, I do not know what is.

Soon Herr Schauble will have to brush up his ancient Greek and find out all about how Nemesis works too.

Though I dare say that he will find out from painful experience.

Sounds fair. After all he is an expert at subject ing those weaker than he to very painful experiences under the pretence that punishment leads to reform.

For all the punishment he may or may not be subjected to sooner or later, I very much doubt whether he will ever become a reformed man. A jilted one, possibly. The Frau is notorious for petty tactics and about turns when it suits her own personal ambitions. Who knows? Herr Schauble may turn out to be the best scapegoat she could ever dream of.
