..We believe it is only a question of time before there are generalised price falls in the country (Germany).. the Netherlands and Italy (are) also in danger...

That means lower tax revenues. What happens to a welfare state when it can't pay all the welfare?

Do the old folks get pension cuts? Students lose free education? Unemployment insurance cuts? Step right up folks; who's ready to volunteer to take less money? What, you are all going to fight to the death to preserve your cut of the pie?

Will they (the Germans) solve it the way they did last time this happened? Or will they just collapse into a second-world existence, like a South American country?

Mr, Natural The ruling German political party is already going the same route it did 70 years ago: it is institutionalizing a scapegoat through hate.

Before it was the Jews, now it is the Americans, the "Evil Capitalists".
