We can’t keep giving out more money than we take in
Angela Merkel is also under pressure, and the government in Germany will also look different after 2013
It is important that we break with the idea that growth always costs a lot of money and must be the result of expensive stimulus programs
They were passed without a mandate from the Greek people and, now, we are literally under occupation, at the mercy of loan sharks and bankers directed by [German chancellor] Angela Merkel and her finance minister [Wolfgang] Schäuble.
We are also aware that there are financial expectations of us
Mr. Sarkozy has had contentious but valuable relationships with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, a fellow conservative, on European and euro zone issues; with the British on defense issues, including the Libyan war; and with President Obama on issues involving Iran and Israel, NATO and Russia
Germany will suggest that we act in exactly the way that we NATO members have previously agreed
By kicking Sarkozy out, not only will we get rid of a man who made our lives miserable, not only will we feel happier and will we improve our conditions of life, but more than anything else, we will break in the old continent, the Merk-ozy [Angela Merkel and Sarkozy] axis, the heart of Europe's austerit...
It is categorically not aimed at Russia

It's important that we get away from the idea that it always costs money to get economic growth
For Chancellor Angela Merkel, this is about the stability of her cabinet, the prospects for the federal election in 2013 and for vice-chancellor Philipp Roesler, it's about nothing less than his political survival
I agree with Mr. Draghi, spending alone is not going to solve our growth problems here. We need structural reforms, we need labor market reforms.

One thing is certain ... Those who do not have access to enough natural resources will be unable to develop new products.
Angela Merkel said Germany needs many, many engineers, especially from Spain ... For me, it's perfect if they come. More new people, more Spanish girls.
