1. More debt is not an “investment” and does not lead to growth.

2. The government is the worst imaginable “investor” and should leave such things to the business world.

ME to the Wash Compost Editorial Board -- go take a flying leap. It's not Germany's duty, job, nor responsibility to 'save' anyone but themselves.

FYI you socialist euro worshipers of the Compost, the EU and Euro is on life support. Prognosis - Fatal. 5-6 months to live. Don't believe me, fine. Search YouTube for Nigel Farage from the UK. He'll tel you the same thinks, jerkweeds.

LOL! Germany is the problem? LOL!

For sure - much of the Euro crowd was happy to do it because they would be boosted by Germany, Then they opted to do business as usual and screwed the pooch. Now they're pi$$ed because Gremany won't ruin herself by throwing good Euros after bad...

In their demand for growth, however, the critics fail to explain how to fund it.

Since when does growth have to be “funded?” Obama’s stimulus program sure involved a lot of funds, but where is the growth? This article was obviously written by a Keynesian lunatic.
