I guess the 2mm 58 IQ inbreds they brought in are all working and paying taxes...Or maybe they just aren’t counting them.

Germany currently enjoys record employment and is paying down the national debt.

seriously?

under the US defense umbrella ever since we beat he crap out of them, to the tune of trillions of dollars?

given merkels hideous anti-populist pro-moslem stance, I think I'd shut up if I were you.

Then let them pay for their own defense finally. We need to pull out of Germany and reposition our forces in Poland. If Germany has such a great economy they don’t need our help.

....”Germany currently ‘enjoys’ record employment and is paying down the national debt”....

Well then they shouldn’t have any problem increasing their 1% with NATO they vowed to increase to meet their 2% of GDP agreed upon years ago, right?

[Covenantor]

Have you drilled down in the employed/unemployed stats?

Where's the news of east german economic boom wher e unemployent was in double digits before the Jihadi migration addding hundreds of thousands of unemployables, or are these statistically ghosts, uncountable.

Mutti and her party lie almost as much as HRH. Same jigger pokery Obama used playing with US numbers, no? 7.1 % of unemployed males <25 yrs old is nothing to brag about

[marajade]

Good. They can contribute their 2% of GDP to NATO.

“Germany currently enjoys record employment and is paying down the national debt.”

Perfect time to pull ALL our troops out from there. Let them fund their own military. See how long socialism survives.

Because Germany spends very little on defence. America has spent a cumulative over a Trillion dollars defending NATO countries like Germany since WW II.
