  • HO: Germany in Recession

    Teutonic plague

    So far I'm feeling pretty confident. All the US has to do is avoid a recession itself.

      Yup, we're ALWAYS going down the toilet here. The only news is bad news - FOR YEARS.

      Stopped even thinking about it.

        Small surprise, given most of the world is in one, including the US (though not officially).

            You could say we are still in the recession that started in 2001, but the bet I made with HO is on GDP growth. Since GDP is still growing in the US I feel confident

              It doesn't surprise me at all since Germany is taxing its business to death. Spiegel just recently reported that as much as 25% of the business plan to move out of the country.

                What I don't understand with the economist is its admiration for greenspanesque statism.

                Apart from that, just wait. We have a timeline out to 2006.

                  Actually they are slightly critical of AG for being too conservative with the monetary stimulus.

                    if the german work ethic can fail, i don't know whats real anymore.

                    all you dudes need to boost your economy is another world war. we're cooking one up now, and if you act fast, you can be on the winning side for once.

                      Well because Germany has failed to move itself away from the old 80s era industries it is paying the price. Germany lately has a history of highly irresponsible socialist spending schemes... especially in the last decade. This needs to be cut in order to give businesses more freedom to restructure. Labor rigidities must be eliminated.

                      The US is not in recession but slow growth. GDP growth is still positive..
                      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

                        it´s not only the socialists. it´s our constitution which makes it difficult to pass laws and new reforms. we have no checks and balances like the USA does. SPD and CDU, our two great parties, always loop each other out when it is about reforming the economy - even when they mainly agee.

                        all you dudes need to boost your economy is another world war. we're cooking one up now, and if you act fast, you can be on the winning side for once.
                        no prob, if we get another marshall plan after.

                          "Actually they are slightly critical of AG for being too conservative with the monetary stimulus."

                          Which is utterly ridiculous, facing the most reckless and most incompetent central bank in the history of western central banking post WW2.

                          "have no checks and balances like the USA does."

                          Not at all. You have too many checks and balances.

                              what I mean is our politicians can´t handle them.
