Not to mention Ireland, Portugal and Spain had half as much austerity as Greece did.

And speaking of free passes, Germany was the first country to have violated the deficit rules back in 2008 if I recall correctly, free pass. And why exactly is Germany allowed to have such a huge trade surplus? That's against EU rules as well. 

That trade surplus is probably what they used to pay for all these loans [...]

No, they used the historically low interest rates of their bonds, because the entire EU south is through the roof. Germany has saved billions from that alone.

Nevertheless, rules are rules, isn't that what most EU hardcores trumpet? Why is Germany excempt from them?
