The Germans are no worse than anyone else by nature. Germany was vanquished and a meshuggener came on board and found a scapegoat. The US had an economic crisis in 2008 and someone whose values are inimical to what the founding fathers stood for, and who has ties to all kinds of radicals, was elected on his vapid message of change.
Change – yes – $1 US = 98 cents Canadian, as in three Canadian quarters, two Canadian dimes, one Canadian nickel, and three Canadian pennies for one US dollar – as I read this morning.
Everyone can fall for the quackery of a misleader in hard times – and the results are never good.
