Well, here its not much better. We are facing serious issues in retirement funding, as the current system will eventually collapse and we young ones will not get anything out of it - yet we have to pay a lot right now and the shithead politicians just raised the retirement amount again...

It's a pretty common problem in most western countries. It's just that, for some reason, people love to bash America for it. The same goes for national debt per capita.


no, that is a bit of a bigger problem in the states than here...especially with what Bush started. so that criticism is justified. Plus look at the trade deficit you guys have over there...staggering. At least we have a trade surplus.


Out of curiosity, what is the national debt per capita in Germany? I can't find info on it. I found the French debt, which is just a few thousand short of American debt per capita. Pretty amazing considering we're finishing up with eight years of President Clownshoe and his free-spending ways.

And the trade deficit should shore itself up somewhat (while yours will drop) given the state of the dollar. Our currency was articificially propped up for too long and now it's officially hit the shitter. Trade should rebound it back in a few years while the high Euro is going to start hurting European trade.
