The losers are all the people who want to retire at age 50 with full benefits. The economic crisis has been postponed, but it will happen unless the "all about me" people make the difficult decision.

She overplayed her hand while catering to her domestic audience. Whose banks hold a large amount of Euro debt? Germany. Who exports more than 50% of their products to other Euro countries? Germany. Germany wil pay either way, but paying sooner will cost less.
