German banks would up the creek without a paddle, and methinks the citizens voice would depend on whether a bailout was in effect.

Do citizens let Spiegel and/or Bild tell them what to think?

I have to stop listening to what die seriöse Leute say about the Euro or I'll pop an artery. I'll be waiting for reports from the ground by dvx or nane or Crazy Horse...

Re: Spiegel's Euro Delirium Tremens (none / 0)

I was thinking more along the lines of how they'd view Greece rather than the banks.

German people, media and poiticians. The reactions of German banks would be quite predictable. ;)

Also, we can't allow the government to get equity in exchange for handouts. That would be zoocialism!
