1) The high moral tone attributed to Germany's export-led, trade surplus prosperity. It seems in every reality-based economics framework to require some others to import and have a trade deficit - so it's not clear to me that there's an easy way to allocate moral superiority. As for budget borrowing - it's not so long since Germany bent the rules on the GSP...
2) I can understand ordinary Germans feeling hard done by - wage stagnation and even decreases have been their lot for a while... but at the same time it seems that corporate profits have not been so stagnant... so I wonder about the "competitiveness" tales being told. Bait and switch by the German plutocracy?
