Should America try to emulate Germany's socialism?

[EdwardBaiamonte]

No, selfish because you believe that if a person doesn't obtain a high-paying job then ****'em - it's their own fault and obviously a consequence of their indolence.

Is a parent selfish because he thinks feels and believes his kids can succeed???

Yes, a parent is selfish if they are prepared to abandon their child just because they don't or can't achieve complete independence - never needing any financial assistance, advice, protection from predators.....

What's your definition of success?

here's the question for the 3rd time: Is a parent selfish because he thinks feels and believes his kids can succeed??

good for you, and are conservatives selfish for believing that most people can succeed in America given that this is the land of opportunity and that it is far easier today than ever.

What's your definition of success - I've asked it before?

You seemed to indicate earlier that if you don't go to school and become a doctor on 250k a year, or become middle management somewhere then you have failed.

*wonders*
Is it far easier to succeed today than ever because the Liberals are in charge?

No, I indicated there are many many options for a person making minimum wage who doesn't want to always make minimum wage!!

Is that your definition of success - making more than minimum wage?

I agree in part.
A success would be being a useful member of society - which could be achieved on a minimum wage, or less.

I suppose it depends on ability, but if for some reason, other than being dumbed down or ruined by liberalism, a person is destined to be a minimum wage worker all their life then it should be considered a successful life. Holding down any job for a long time is hard work, I'll agree.

Germany practices austerity, i.e, they know how to live within their means; thats why the more liberal EU countries need Germany to bail them out!!

The recovery from the collapse has once again demonstrated German resilience.
German companies deepened their export links to the growing economies of Asia,
and policymakers have supported stabilization and growth through measures to
maintain employment and a sizeable fiscal stimulus.

Three factors stand out in explaining the German recovery. First, active and coordinated
policy measures taken across the globe were crucial in preventing a free fall and fostering a
resumption of growth. Eichengreen and O’Rourke (2010) highlight the fact that the initial
output collapse in what was subsequently dubbed the Great Recession was, in fact, more
severe than in the Great Depression of the 1930s. They attribute the more rapid pace of
recovery this time around to a keener perception
of the danger of inaction. With the G-20
economies acting in a rare moment of policy
coordination to support the global economy, the
significantly greater monetary and financial
stimulus on this occasion prevented another
Great Depression. There was equally a major
effort to backstop the financial sector in order to
prevent its meltdown. Germany played its role
in the coordinated action, through both its
financial sector operations and its fiscal stance.
In the financial sector, lifelines were provided
to banks through the newly constituted SoFFin.
Although there were some initial concerns
that the German authorities might be reluctant to use fiscal stimulus, the German stimulus
between 2009 and 2011 was above the average of that in the advanced G-20 economies and
only modestly less than that in the United States or Japan (Figure 23). Indeed, as Krugman
(2010) pointed out, German government consumption between 2007:Q4 and 2010:Q2 rose at
a significantly faster clip than in the United States. It may well be that such expansion of
consumption had a greater multiplier effect than the tax cuts did in the United States.

Sorry, looks like you just dont know what words mean. Austerity is cutting spending, germany didnt do that, they spent more.

Of course that is stupid since Germany is the world's strongest advocate of austerity!!!Just ask Greece!! And ask Germany if it is working!!!

 

[ReallyMeow]

if austerity is so great, why arnt germans implementing it for themselves? the age of nationalism is not over, germany is pushing austerity as a means to **** over their neighbors in the same way conservatives are pushing austerity to **** over America.
