Chancellor Merkel:  Why use German taxpayer money to bail out a French bank competing with a German bank?
 

Here is the metaphor.

Imagine Germany as the lead man climbing a cliff.

France is the number two guy.

France is being pulled down by number three.

France asks Germany for help.

Germany won't help because France might get to the top first.

France falls and pulls Germany down with her.

Is Merkel the problem?

Some things work and some things don't work.

Perhaps more people in the EuroZone should be scanning my blog.
