"Debt is our only weapon and we must use it to impose better conditions, because recession itself is what is stopping us complying with the (EU-IMF Troika) accord. We should make the legs of the German bankers tremble," he said.
Angela Merkel and the rest of the sanctimonious "Good Germans" can natter all they want about responsibility, but if one of the debtor nations says, "f%$#k you, we're defaulting," it's game over for the German banking sector and their economy.
What the "Technocrats" and "Very Serious People" don't realize is that their demands are going to make this scenario happen sooner, rather than later.
There is a saying, "If you owe the bank $1,000.00, the bank owns you, if you owe the bank $1,000,000.00, you own the bank."
What continues to be denied is, default is inevitable, resistance is futile.
