Oct 24, 2018 at 17:45 comment added PatrickT @fectin, imho mentioning that money in two years is worth "less" than money now would be confusing as well as questionable. Countries may be considered to have near-zero pure discount rates since they have long lives and if we cared about our children's future we ought to have exactly zero discount rates. Besides inflation rates have been low throughout the eurozone, sometimes negative. So I don't see the relevance of the point. Perhaps one of the 6 people who upvoted your comment want to explain why they think there's an issue here.

I would say that the profit of the bailout to Germany was (and still is) more in preventing an wider collapse of the Eurozone, and in protecting the Euro, which is pointed out near the end of this recent article: bbc.co.uk/news/business-45243088

Aug 22, 2018 at 13:24 comment added Cliff Greece owes 330 billion to the European Union and the European Central Bank. A large part of this is financed by Germany. You could probably even argue that Germany is paying for its own interest :)
