Of Germany: Merkel’s doing it right
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, cast aside her image as European champion of fiscal discipline on Monday as she launched her re-election bid with a manifesto calling for higher public investments and €15bn in tax cuts over four years.
“The question is: How can we ensure Germany emerges stronger once the crisis is over and the cards have been reshuffled in the world,†she told delegates of her Christian Democratic Union gathered in Berlin to endorse the manifesto. “The answer is we need growth.â€
Aww look! One of the Democratic Socialists of Europe is finally coming out and admitting that government doesn’t know best how to spend money. Isn’t that cute.
Hey, if we can get them together for a Pox Party and everybody catches a case The Capitalism, maybe Obama will visit and he’ll get the itch?
Ok, ok, Probably not. But a fellas got to have dreams.
