He added that the German economy grew 0.9% in the second quarter of 2006, its fastest pace in more than five years.

This reads like a scrappleface article or something.

How dare you suggest we're not performing economically! Why, we almost made a percentage point!

He warned that America's trade deficit - $160bn (£84bn) in 2005 - needed to be reduced, and that Americans could not continue buying so many foreign goods forever.

If domestic cars would last as long as Japanese cars, I'd want to buy American. If Japanese cars had the styling appeal of domestic cars, I'd want to buy Japanese. There's no winning.

If the American economy were to crash big time (1929 stock market crash) the EU may not survive the aftermath.
