Dalit,

The problem is that you are looking at things in isolation.

The US has not embraced a failing Communist part of their country into their folds.

Germany has taken East Germany which was a failing Commie joint.

East German industry and infrastructure was from the Stoneage. They are being refurbished and the impoverished East Germans are being assimilated in the united society.

The guys who were being spoon fed by the State from the womb to the tomb have now got to work. They don't want to. So unemployment and poor production and so on.

In what was West Germany do you find skinheads? No.

In the East you dol

Therefore, there will be a whole lot of hassles.

In the US, with everything in your favour including a declining dollar which means improved exports, you are staggering.

So, don't compare Germany with the US.

Stand up for your country, sure. But don't pull wool over realties.

Your unemployment rates is a little better than the Depression.

Some more Wars and you will go down or else Iran would have been on a crosswire of a sniper rifle!
