Greeks and Germans

Roger Cohen makes a poignant point in the NYT:

Greece, facing the tab for a long free lunch, is now the most hated member of the euro club. Germans are canceling their Greek holidays (and reckon Greece should be selling its islands rather than taking their hard-earned money.) North Europeans don’t think they should be paying for Greek retirement at 53.

I kinda have to agree with that. Why should Germans pay for Greek's early retirement? That won't fly.
