His financial strength seems to depend upon the direction in which he's traveling

A man (European debtor nation) carrying a small bundle on his back (repayment of old loans low interest) seems to be having a hard time on his way to America (too weak to shoulder his old obligations). On his way back from America, he is seen walking upright carrying a much larger bag (new loans at high interest rates).
