Well, yes. Getting into the mess political as the politicians spent money they didn't have. Sorting it out is at least in the medium / long term is getting into the habit of not doing this again. Even if the Germans et al do decide to support their economy ad infinitum where they lend money so they can be paid back their existing loans and also pay salaries - technically not loosing money as long as the Ponzi scheme continues - they'll be unlikely to do is a second time.
