Well, it's a fact, not a narrative. I think the actual debate is whether or not boosting economies of countries in the EU that for one reason or another were or are behind on the curve is a net win. I think it is. Just as it is perfectly justified for other countries to feel a bit hard done by if that same country after an estimates 280 billion euro injection is still rejecting the shared currency of that body.

The point is that "feeling a bit hard done by" rings a little hollow if the country feeling this way is the reason the recipient country needs investment in the first place. 280 billion euro is still less than a third of the estimated amount of damage from WW2 alone.
