The toughest critic of Greece in the debt negotiations and the man depicted as a blood-sucker through the streets of Athens during the referendum campaign, German Wolfgang Schaeuble, obviously thinks it’s a time for jokes.
In a call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, Schaeuble claims he offered his American counterpart a swap— Greece for Puerto Rico, a U.S. commonwealth facing its own debt crisis.
“I offered my friend Jack Lew these days that we could take Puerto Rico into the euro zone if the U.S. were willing to take Greece into the dollar union,” Schaeuble said at an event in Frankfurt Thursday.
“He thought that was a joke,” continued Schaeuble, according to Bloomberg.
Puerto Rico is dealing with $72 billion in debt that its governor says the island can’t repay.

A LUNATIC ,BITTER OLD MAN TRYING TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND EUROPE . HIM AND HIS MORONIC GANG WILL NOT WIN THATS A FACT
Mr.Schaeuble.You are probably a Nazi sympathizer. You race could not walk all over Greece in your last war, and you retrying to destroy it now.All of you “superior people should look in the mirror ” Admit all the atrocities pay back all the money you owe and then stand by your “pay back the money you borrowed..Also go and get Puerto Rico another small country to manipulate and destroy.
I am glad to see your German background has aloud you a sense of humor ,but o I forgot your fathers laught as you gassed innocent victims ,ah but you did not add that to your school curriculum ,you did not want your sweet little shatcii to grow up knowing what they lovely sweet parents did in the past .we would most of us in Europe swap Germany for Puerto Rico ,,at least we would know that they were not trying to rule Europe ,like yourselfs, mind you, you have tried before twice with out to much success and we in Europe set you free from your obligation ! Who knows maybe three times lucky ,but I don think so .screw you and your evil tutonic backround you Germanic megalomaniac .
I’m sure he would, figuring that Puerto Rico is easier to domineer. What a pathetic old man. If only such a deal was possible, though. At least the Americans have a better handle on managing their economic affairs. The Germans are hopeless. Even Puerto Rico’s debt would cause them headaches.
NAZI BASTARD!
