If Herr Shickelgrueber had not gone after Poland in 1939, who would have been regarded as the greatest German statesman in history. He managed to get back Germany's honor after the vicious unjust Treaty of Versailles. But restoring the status of Germany was not his game plane. It was the conquest of Europe.

| Will capitalists ever realize they must pay a "honest" wage. Otherwise, we get where we are today, low wages allow the capitalists to produce zillions of products, yet the low wages do not allow people to buy those zillions of products. Today's capitalists are not dumb, they are below stupid. |

| Yes the best way to stimulate an economy is to have it needs based rather than ability based. Consumerism drives the economy. |

Greece's elections next month should be a real hoot. They have been so robbed of their democracy that they'll go out and vote for hardline Stalinists, Trotskyites, and literal Nazis to save them. That's not even a joke, Golden Dawn is poised to enter parliament. |
Last I checked Australia had universal healthcare and no budget deficit. |
