LOL. 81.5 miilion. You couldn't look that up?
Germany is the largest national economy in Europe, the fourth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and fifth by GDP (PPP) in 2008. Since the age of industrialization, the country has been a driver, innovator, and beneficiary of an ever more globalized economy. Germany is the world's second largest exporter with $1.120 trillion exported in 2009 (Eurozone countries are included). Exports account for more than one-third of national output.
>Still and all. Germany's population is roughly a quarter of The U.S.'s so it doesn't take that much to change the rate dramatically.
Besides, Germany is a largely Socialist state and we don't want to become Germany.
Yeah and they exported a lot of engineering and construction expertise to Saddam in helping him build his rocket and chemical warfare arsenal. If you don't believe me, check out the facilities they built for him at Al Kindi, just north of Mosul. Guess they just couldn't help themselves, it part of the DNA make up.
