"With social policy becoming ever more comprehensive, it has turned into a severe and suffocating burden for the economy. The boon—however great or small it may have been in its early stages for a specific group—has turned into a massive plague. Now, the dismantling of the welfare state emerges as the major policy challenge of the 21st century."

And liberals in this country continue to spend and demand "rights" out the wazoo. They are living in a bizarre, socialist, self-centered wonderland.

The German economy is in the dustbin of history. When they had their "Wirtschaftswunder", the worst thing to happen to socialists, they squandered their new found wealth because it did not come with instructions. There is no Foreign or local investment going into the country. The regulations are so restrictive for businesses and the costs so high that no one is opening up a business there. Their productivity is 33% lower than ours , their medical and pension system are broke. All because they became too lazy to breed and make sure the influx of capital was secure. See, it used to work, but it doesn't anymore
