Germans love austerity. After World War II austerity, hard work, and self-sacrifice rebuilt their country from the ashes of the fire bombings. But then Martin Luther was a German, and he started the Protestant Reformation. To Protestants work is like a religion.
Not so in Greece. Greece is Orthodox and not Protestant at all. No wonder that constant austerity measures are not helping the country but harming it. One size does not fit all for the European Union and the Euro Zone. Yet the Troika keeps on coming and demanding more and more sacrifices of the Athenians. Who knows where it will end? In revolution? The government overthrow? Worse?
