Doesn't anyone remember the 80s when local currency where regularly attacked by speculators? The idea of the Euro was to end this speculation which was hurting local economy badly, at least that's how the governments sold it.
As you said, Greece's problem is that it doesn't produce much. So the solution is not with transfer payments (the justification that it will eventually ends up in Germany anyway is just idiotic), but to make Greeks actually produce something they could sell.
