Exactly! Greece wants for example 500m to build 14 unnecessary new airports. Germans win the contract to build airports. Greeks realise there was no point in the airports and they aren't generating the cash to repay and sell to Fraport the german airport operator at a knockdown price say 150m.
Net result Greeks now have 14 german run airports and 350m to repay for the pleasure. They germans have 500m of EU cash and 14 airport that they will run at a profit because they bought them cheap and can use economies of scale to cut costs. -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Murray Sent: 08 June 2016 14:12 To: Peter Castlehouse Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] NONLU: EU The answer is they do, but it's kind of illusory because most uk citizens in the EU are self funded retirees. They do not impact the job market and are a net gain to the host country, spending their pensions and so on. In terms of the Greek debate. I get that they ran out of money, but they couldn't devalue and grow their way out because of the euro. The EU ignored their breaches of Eurozone fiscal policy because they were buying German goods on tick.
