Crash, consider this. We have 300 million people, more international responsibilities and an entire strata of people who self perpetuate their own poverty.

Germany is different. If anything you could adapt more Radical economic policies than the US has and be more successful. Most europeans dont know this, but in the US we feel overwhelmed with state, county and national tax's, paperwork and regulations. We kicked the English out for a
2.5% tax, now if you add up all the personal and consumer tax's a individual works 7 months a year just to pay the government.

Unless Germans start to make more Germans you arent going to have a Germany anymore. And your birth rates will not go up from being a net negative number until there is a increased sense of future success for your country, its just human nature.
