A capital flow isn't something handled out by governments to be charitable. You attract capital by putting in place a decent system.
It also would appear that some people don't understand how a surplus work. It lowers the government debt. And god knows Germany has plenty of debt to pay off.
And they need to save up so they can keep bailing out Southern Europe. 
This.

I don't mind to be corrected, if i'm wrong. But I fear, that your facts need some straightening. I never talked of policies among the mediteranian countries. I meant the individual policies of france, italy, spain, etc. they all spent (and spend) too much. This is perverting John Maynard Keynes.
As I see your avatar, my wife has greek parents. So i know a little something about the state of things in Greece. I admire what has been achieved in Greece, but France and Italy will have to go the same way.
