if you examine the statistics on this web site you will see that germany is not doing too badly compared to the united states and in some sectors doing much better. the site uses the cia world fact book as a basis.

Yes, ever since they took down the Berlin wall, things started to change. The east side was a very poor country and the Government ruled everything. This side of the country was behind with technology and everything else. The Western side of the country needs to rebuild the eastern part and it will take many years to come beside spending tons of money. Once the east side is rebuild, they will be okay. Germany actually is not doing so bad as you might think.

Yes, Socialism is doing Germany in.
In 20 years, all of Western Europe will be made up of Third World Nations.
Socialism just can't compete with Capitalism.

Lets see, Socialism for a start.
High taxes.
A welfare system that lets lazy people stay that way.
Sound familiar, as in the party of the so called Democrats.
Socialism doesn't work.
