You really are paranoid when it comes to Schäuble, it's rather pathetic really...
No, Schäuble wasn't the EU, he wasn't even Germany, he was one highly influential politician who held a specific view and did his job (which is to serve and protect HIS country). The EU made its decisions based on a whole lot of different nations being fully on board with the premise. Pretending that Schäuble simply could have pushed any decisions onto others is simply ignorant beyond belief. Guess what, more than one person can hold a position that doesn't agree with yours!
There was a whole bunch of (mostly northern) European nations that were sharing the same course. And not only that, some held far harsher positions than Germany ever held on that matter.
I also have zero idea where you got the idea from that he "owned trust funds". There isn't anything to support that theory. He was head of the supervisory council of the "Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau", but that is a given, considering that this position gets filled by the Secretary for Finance. That is the only connection to anything of that sort.
You sound awesome, so it really pains me that this is the last time I am hearing from you
Excellent insight though, it wasn't Germany, just vassals and microstates satelliting Germany, that forced austerity. Keep reading Bild.
