It's summertime, and you know what that means in the big cities. . .

Lol, if the problems were equivalent then you would see bullets flying in Germany, looting going on, robbing, stabbing, rapes, drug addicts at every corner, food stamp recipients lining up, inner cities inaccessible at night time, break ins. No, I do not think the problems are even remotely equivalent. And you know what I like the best? No fucking tips, and nobody who loiters, begs, and pesters people at every corner, in every front of every restaurant, except a few gypsies here and there. Guess the needy are after all pretty well taken care of in Germany.

By the way, the number of white welfare recipients in the US is about the same as black welfare recipients. http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/

I am done on this topic.

I guess you need to go back to Germany, visit some inner city low income areas, and take a good look at what is going on. Very similar to the U.S. and other western countries.

Yes, recently the number of black welfare recipients became larger than the number of white recipients. However whites account for 72.2% of the U.S. population and blacks account for 12.6% - so the bottom line is there is a much greater percentage of blacks on welfare.

lol, every f'ing comment section is filled with these leftist d-bags throwing out the number, without adjusting for the percentage of population...it's just a neverending troll-fest with these clowns...

so, if that is such a strong argument how come US corporations have not done any better with an ultra low US dollar for several years? The US consumer is not buying and nor are corporations performing capital expenditures. If the currency strength/weakness was the all around problem/solution then it would have manifested itself in the US and many other economies that lived through times of devalued currencies. Look at Japan. Nothing is happening in that country other than equity markets trying to play a little catch up with the rest of the world. The yen is pretty cheap by any standard yet you see no improvements in exports (and Japan still does export quite a bit). But I understand all the jealousy and bickering that is going on. Certain interested groups have never found closure, no matter how many times Germany apologized for its historical crimes against humanity. No matter the settlements and payments. Some people just cannot get the mouth full enough. Look at all the American Jews that are lining up and try whatever they can to extract more in settlement money while every last Jew has been well compensated for lost ones. (at least as well compensated as financially possible, while money can never outweigh a human life), so I do understand your sentiment and hinting at Germany having to play welfare boy for poor European nations.

Currency weakness is not everything, but it's a big help. When Germany was on the DM, a strong economy and strong currency was a problem. All of a sudden, place a whole bunch of countries on the same currency, and Germany has a ton of brand new consumers that find a whole bunch of good quality products at cheaper prices.

It would be like the US finally entering a currency union with the UK, Canada, and all of South America and assuming the currency of one of the weaker countries. All of a sudden, US goods would be cheap to millions of new consumers.

Who cares about the percentage (except when it suits you), widespread welfare need is the problem. Kick all "whites" off of it and you've solved the lion's share of the problem.

Amusing. Blacks are the majority of people on welfare. If you kick off all the whites then the "lion's share" of the problem is still in place.

Percentage of welfare recipients who are black 39.8 %

Percentage of welfare recipients who are white 38.8%

Barely. But had we kicked "whites" off at the start of the GR, the problem would have been solved early.

maybe you need to study economic history a bit more. Germany has been a powerhouse for almost 60 years straight with the exception of the time after the re-unification when billions were transferred to the East to re-build infrastructure. Those 60 years Germany went through times of a strong DM and weak DM, strong Euro and weak Euro and every time it outperformed most of its European neighbors. Are you honestly telling us that Germany is what it is because of a weak Euro? Lol

The DM was never fixed at extraordinarily favorable terms against the Euro. There are so many academic papers out there that debunk the myth that a simple google search does wonders. You keep on repeating the same stupid, unsubstantiated argument, hoping it sticks at some point. It does not because it is factually simply wrong.

Why don't we just end the entire welfare system and don't let the lazy social parasites sponge off our tax dollars. This sounds like the solution you are driving at... since equality demands that if you kick off one race then you kick off all races.

No. But Germany has received the benefit of being in the EU. Other countries ended up getting the short end of the stick. This is why, not too long ago, the discussion of transfer payments was brought up.

Up until the recovery lifted "whites" into a higher employment rate, ending welfare (such as it is) would have punished "whites" more.

And we can't have that!
