I don't know about Germany.

Merkel is trying to deliver a balanced budget, probably leading to a
recession, because they care more about the budget than building/fixing
needed infrastructure to stimulate the economy.

Germans are preventing the ECB from easing, which would help the entire
EU, because they don't like the idea of helping the latin nations.

One pundit calls Merkel the Herbert Hoover of Europe.

But others have said she recognizes the need for stimulus and easing
monetary policy but her hands are tied because of the German electorate.

Feel free to donate your savings to the latin nations :-)

BTW, Cameron is refusing to pay the 2 billion the UK owes the EU.

She rightly doesn't like Germany being the main payer in the EU. The only
payer
other than NL, if UK leaves the EU.

Yet the Germans don't mind selling them their cars and other export
items.

Or lending them money with their banks.

They imposed austerity so that the PIIGS can't default on those loans
and screw over the German banks.

Only because you don't live in Germany.


That's probably true - I've read about neo-nazis being on the increase.
(Although the sheer triumph of the wealthy 1% over us ordinary
middle-class Americans is hardly encouraging, here.)

But not really in politics. The few extreme right-wing parties never score
more than around 2% at elections (except for some local elections in the
east of the country, were they sometimes score more).

There are some Neo-Nazis though when it comes down to football-hooligans.
But that is not only a German problem, you'll find that in Italy, England
and Holland as well.

Regards,

Frank

Not forgetting all the petty local officialdom.


What kind of petty local officialdom are you thinking of? I find the
local officials to be extremely fast and efficient. I got a certificate
of life last week in two minutes flat, plus one minute to find a parking
spot near the office.

It's gotten a lot better since they were told (along with several other EU
countries) that they had to stop treating other EU nationals registering to
"live" the same way that they treat the Turks
