And yet it’s also children’s lives we’re talking about; not just the government. Country-scale things like this are difficult to boil down.

It's those childrens' parents that are responsible for empowering a responsible government, not German parents.

I mean we can blame the Germans, but it's not going to change anything. Borrowers will find someone to lend to them. It's only the borrower who can avoid getting under crushing debt.

If the leader is willing to give money to someone that they know isn't able to pay back, then they surely are to blame.
