Couldn't agree more. And that's only the canton of Berlin. Here in my local town in Bavaria a new tunnel is being built. Capital was raised with donations from the townsfolk and a 40% stake from the government!! €22 million over 3 or 4 years I kid you not from the locals.

Imagine a town in the UK being asked to donate to local infrastructure projects, it just no past go.

Even if they're no looking Germany still has more gold than the UK. Not looking good for the UK if the world economy returns to the gold standard.
