    In your answer to your question are Germans happy...

    no

    They're incomes have been declining for sometime pensions are being cut, health services cut back, newer jobs are lower paid and less secure.

    To a large extent having hung on to an out of date system they're being pushed to reform to control huge deficits. Did you know 25% of the German budget is simply to pay interest on the accumulated deficit, shich is still growing.

    Unless the Germans push through further reforms they'll not be able to control spending.
    I'm alright Jack

          No, the CDU are currently in power, albeit in a type of coalition, which is pretty close to a Tory. The previous was socialist and quite a bit like the Labour one at the time (Bliar)
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Well the Germans are considerably cleverer than whatever East European turd-hole you come from, Likely.
            But then almost everyone else in the world is, too.

            HTH
            Hard Brexit now!

              To whom do they owe money - that is the interesting question?

                Mr sas.


                I mean no harm. I come to this grateful country long time ago. I work very long and hard for little money. I always work very diligently. Allah will give you long life for all your gratitude.

                All I want , Mr sas , is too keep me enjoying the woman. Please do not take nice woman away from me. Allah is my witness I will be devastated.

                Allah is good too all humans , you too Mr Sas. But use no strong word against me Mr sas for Allah is my witness I will your woman roughly do.
