Germany funds its own military and is less socialist than USA.
Let”s pull out today. I don’t see anyone here stopping us. You might want to consider the effect on US military industrialism.
The US military has numerous bases there, and troops inject tons of cash into their economy. And Germany has cradle to grave social programs, with strict laws about mandatory paid vacation time and maximum hours worked. Very difficult to start a business there. Everything is regulated way beyond what we see in the US. And in the US, we’re actually cutting regulations.
Pull our troops, shut the bases. Let Germany fund their own defense. All of it. 100%. And I don’t give a damn about military industry overseas, US or other. Sink or swim time.
“To all intents and purposes Germany has long since ceased to be a capitalist country. “The capitalist system has been replaced by the National Socialist system which is borne along by an entirely different spirit and obeys entirely different intrinsic laws from those which control the capitalist economy.”
