German unemployment is about 6%.
Anybody can find that with a few key clicks.

I'll add you to the dolt list.

Just keep eating fodder being served to you. It's having the desired effect.

Many people in the U.S.A. call those countries "socialist" because they
all have universal health care and old age pensions.
Seems crazy to them.
The U.S.A. has an AA rating and no universal health care.
Second class compared to the countries on the above list.
The U.S.A. does have food stamps.
About 20% of Americans qualify for and use food stamps.
You can't buy beer with food stamps, so personally I don't want to ever
depend on food stamps. Even if I had beer money on the side.
Food stamps are second class "money."
Many people living in the countries with AAA ratings have trouble
understanding why 20% of the people in the U.S.A. are on food stamps,
with which they can't buy beer.
Seems crazy to them.
You can decide for yourself who's crazy.

Rating agencies are bull****. USA should have lost triple A 3 years ago.

I never understood why China was rated so low. Only $1.55 trillion in
civic, provincial and federal debt combined. And offset that they have
lent others more money than tat which makes China in a positive balance.

But then these were US companies doing the ratings. And we know liberal
media downplays that everyone but Moody downgraded USA, it wasn't just S&P.

HAHAHA liberal media. the US media is so conservative faux news is
considered 'radio moscow' by the GOP

notice that all the welfare states with high union membership have
lower unemployment than the US....

but to canuck, the free market US is the way to go
