Second, it was obvious that if Greece already could not repay its existing loans, the austerity conditions on which the “bailouts” were premised would crush Greek nominal incomes, making the national debt even less sustainable. When Greeks could no longer make payments on their mountainous debts, German and other European taxpayers would have to step in again.
其次，显然，如果希腊已经无法偿付现有贷款，“援助”所要求的紧缩条件将摧毁希腊的名义收入，让国民债务更加不可持续。当希腊人不再偿付山积的债务时，德国和其他欧洲纳税人就不得不再一次站出来。（当然，希腊富人早已将存款转移到了法兰克福和伦敦等金融中心。）
