Huh, you'd think they'd be used to bailing everyone else out after the massive devaluation to their Deutschmark retirement savings after monetary union.

Personally, I find the success of Germany not terribly surprising given that they were going okay before union. The thing that perplexes me is these other countries that are falling apart, as they didn't strike me as so terribly fragile either.
