Criminal organizations (well, aren't they?) in America said that zero-income/undocumented people were as creditworthy as the US government, and they conned the world with AAA ratings (Arrrgh, where is my bayonet?) You don't have to be as demented as me to know that it can not possibly be true that crook-bonds are not the same as US govt debt, and there was much criminal energy involved. It is sad for German and world savers Clearly the bankers and traders require deportation to an uncomfortable place |

But Germany still has a working welfare and regulation system, so you must've been confusing it with California. Actually, thanks to regulation, welfare and a highly advanced free educational system (being dismantled like all over Europe right now) is why they were able to prosper so fast after WW2. Having free health care and social insurence is not living off other people's work. Everybody contributes into that system, even the unemployed. |

Sorry, Kumpel. Ich konnte nicht widerstehen. Aber den Dieter Hallervorden und Loriot fand ich stets lustig.

In todays world, car production is a good indicator
of the strength of a nations economy Car production as of 2010 Germany .......5,905,985 Spain ........2,387,900 France ........ 2,227,742 UK ......... 1,393,463 Germany dwarfs Britain's car production Britain is now a service economy we are told with the City of London earning vast revenues worldwide for financial services. Well its the financial sector that has been going haywire ever since the autumn of 2008... the collapse of Rock was just a straw in the wind. When the financial edifice collapses we will be left with a 3rd world economy ... the car industry is all foreign owned anyway ( unlike the German motor industry that now even owns Rolls Royce ! ) |

A good indicator is also the current field trial in a courageous small country called Iceland, which is currently recovering economically because of his blasphemy. Clever people.
