There is more debt in the world than things to pay for it. It's fake, pointless and it will all be written down at a reset. Germany, GB and the USA know this and that is why they are all going the way of Japan economically without a care. Inflate to stay in control over the eastern powers as long as possible.
Merkel is shit for German people though, no doubt. The Germans used to be very sensitive to being called nationalist in any sense....wonder if that is changing these days. They need somebody to control their borders and interests outside of just beating up on the other Euro countries because they have had the best economic engine.
