You don't want "good". You demand/expect gold-plated.

Why don't you demand fast trains to any village with more than 1 person. 
(Germans always laughed at us when we called the Inter-City Express 
trains ICE trains even though that was the English acronym. On second 
thoughts an Ice-Cream Train is a bit funny :-)

You choose to ignore the opportunity-cost to health, welfare, and 
education etc. You sir are like a drunken Greek full of flash trains and 
Olympics and retiring at 50 on 100% pension and you never finish the top 
storey of your house 'cos then you'd have to pay local tax.

But now you know the Germans will do anything but default so screw 'em 
for evry cent they've got! The Irish, Portuguese, Italians and Spanish 
are all lining up behind you with their pants down.

Don't get me going on the Irish (I am mostly one) they have a tax haven 
for Google and Apple etc so they loan their Oz subsidiaries billions for 
nothing and repatriate our profits back to the "Celtic Tiger" :-(

Anyway the most important thing is that YOUR govt pays you enough so you 
can stay in a real hotel when you go on holidays and stop clogging up 
(see what I did there?) the Deutsch autobahns with your bloody caravans! 
How much tax did you pay Hitler for their roads eh? Take your "NL" 
sticker and piss-off back to window-shopping Amsterdam and other village 
curiosities that you're so eager to preserve.
