Germany versus Britain - shocking statistics

[EternalOptimist]

The difference is that Germany invested nothing in military.

We may have won the war - they won the peace.

The German army is not that much smaller than ours

Though i would be interested to know which side of the Berlin wall you would rather have lived.

You must be on the ropes - the straw man has reappeared.
I'd obviously rather be in West Germany than East Germany

During the cold war wasn't it rather larger, since it would have borne the brunt of any land invasion?

Indeed, every example that isn't Germany is a straw man argument.

What about Switzerland, very free market, very rich (richer than ze Germans)

Must be all that Nazi gold i guess.

Switzerland is more heavily regulated than Germany. You can't even fart over there without a permission slip.

Ultimately the government should have no place influencing what industries should prevail, instead it should let the investors decide what they deem the most productive investments.

You keep repeating this like a cretin in spite of all the evidence to the contrary I have provided.
Suggests you are an autistic idiot savant (without the savant bit.)

That might be the case if you had provided any evidence beyond "Germans like Wurst so eating Wurst is clearly the key to a strong economy".

It's actually considered the 5th most economically free country in the world. Indeed, behind 4 other incredibly wealthy countries. Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Though these examples are possible straw-man arguments too.

sg, you've been wursted in this argument

.

Switzerland a free market?
Now I know for sure you are a complete, deluded, ignorant, untravelled moron.
I would suggest you stop to preserve your self-respect but you don't seem to be shy about flounting your pig-ignorance at every opportunity.
