Germany Gets It... Why Don't We?

[mdn2000]

Yes, Germany gets it.

They have national health insurance.

Breast cancer mortality is higher in Germany than in the USA

Maybe you should live in Germany.

Moratility means people died of the cancer, What you add to the conversation is lacking in intelligence so I did not want you to feel real stupid with the big word.

Germans pay higher taxes than Americans and yet they enjoy the 4th best world economy while being the size of one of our states?

And you people expect us to believe that trickle down economics work?

bwahahaha!

Much attention has been paid in public debate recently to the subject of Germans emigrating from Germany. The dynamic of emigration has increased and the number leaving has clearly risen since 2001. In 2005 145 000 and in 2006 155 000 Germans emigrated–more than in any year since 1954 (Table 1). But the balance has only been negative since 2005, with the number leaving larger than the number returning. If the number of migrations is shown in relation to the total German population, the annual emigration rate is very low.

I guess not all Germans agree.

Liberal/Marxists can speak for everyone, just ask them


Standard of Living

The standard of living is a measure of economic welfare. It generally refers to the availability of scarce goods and services, usually measured by per capita income or per capita consumption, calculated in constant dollars, to satisfy wants rather than needs. Because the well-being that living standards are supposed to measure is an individual matter, per capita availability of goods and services in a country is a measure of general welfare only if the goods and services are distributed fairly evenly among people. If income distribution is very uneven, then despite high per capita availability of commodities, large numbers of persons may have a very low standard of living and others a very high standard - valid comparisons can be made only among reasonably homogeneous groups

Germany is at the onset of sweeping economic reforms based primarily upon lowering taxes and reducing the massive government waste it is so noted for.

This sentiment is sweeping across the European continent - and coming to America as well...

 

[Yukon]

It really is too bad that the average American is so downright stupid/ They really are. People who listen to and believe the likes of Hannity, Beck, Limpdick, Bush, and Reagan really are stupid. Sad too.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Germany is a socialist nation as is the United States. banks, Insurance Companies, Automobile manufacturing firms are all owned by the US Government. This is socialism at its best.

notice how everyone ignores you craphead?....why dont you follow that other ass "Centrist Voice" and turn in your resignation from the club.....you dont contribute much anyway....

Most people who are diagnosed wtih cancer in this country are over 65 and are treated by Medicare which is government sponsored healthcare.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

Germany is a great nation destined to rule the world. The Fourth Reich will rise from the ashes of defeat.

 

[ba1614]

Canada must be proud.

 

[rayboyusmc]

Germany also kept much of its workforce working because the government supplemented their wages when the companies couldn't meet the payrolls. This allowed them to start back up quicker and has sped up the recovery there quicker than here.

My word, socialism in the making.

 

[mdn2000]

Canada gave us the Rwanda genocide.

Most housing in Germany is Condos. If thats a higher standard of living I dont want it.

 

[Toro]

"Germany is a socialist state" was the phrase used by one of the smartest European investors I know.

 

[Yukon]

The United States is a socialist state. The government owns the banksm insurance companies, and automobile manufacturing. The only difference between US and German socialism is language of communication.

Accept it my friends, you are now 100% died in the wool SOCIALISTS !!!!!

Merkel Wins Majority for Tax-Cut Coalition in Germany (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

We already tried this in 2001. It didn't do much. Tax cuts only work when the taxes are above 60% and they're cut in half. Those are the only times tax cuts have worked.

 

[mightypeon]

Something a lot of people forget concerning Germany:
Nearly free Univiersity education.
Compared to the US, 500 Bucks per semester is nothing.
Oh wait, we got a public transport system thats worth the name too, although admidetly beeing relativly small helps here.
Concerning the size of economics? Are their any good estimates on how much of the American economy actually exists in realitiy?
Germany is still number one exporter of manufactured goods

Now, Now, Now. I draw exception to broad categorization of a whole slew of politicians.

Though I did not always agree with his politics, I liked Reagan because he was The Great Communicator. Even if he told us that we were all going to have to eat shit for a season. he had us smiling when he told us. In spite of his politics and limited cheating, Reagan was a fairly good president.

Obama is a damn good communicator, but does not seem to be as effective at a Levée en masse as was Reagan. With practice, Obama might someday be that good.

Clinton was a fairly good communicator, but not in Obama's league. His greatest claim to fame is that he did not fug things up like so many other presidents have done.
