Another reason for Germany's resurgence that the Washington Post would rather not mention: when she took office, Merkel and her party slashed the corporate tax from 50% to 25%. As a result, German exports have boomed and unemployment dropped four points. Funny how that works.

Slashing the tax burden on companies almost always helps to stabilize the economy and encourages companies to expand, and take risk.

You’ve just shown how it’s working for Germany (which has to shoulder the burden of the EU on its back)

The precedents even here in the USA are too numerous that only the willfully ignorant can miss it.

Count them -— Warren Harding, JFK, Ronald Reagan, even Clinton in his second term ( nudged on by Congress of course ), and Dubya after 9/11.

Tax cuts together with SPENDING RESTRAINT, that’s the real ticket.
