Good points
And mostly I agree with you. But poverty is a serious issue in the US. At the same time the welfare system in Germany makes it very attractive for people to be lazy and not work but I believe the welfare system in the US also has the same effects on a smaller scale. The east-west reconciliation has had serious effects on Germany's economy even though it happened over a decade and a half ago.

I was not trying to say that Germany is in any way better than the US in terms of size of economy, but it certainly is not 20-30 years behind. I am not german so I don't really care, but I do care when I see ignorant/arrogant statements.
