Lots of broken windows. Economy -------------- German cash-for-clunkers (sales surge, then collapse) http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,675703,00.html Germany's Labor Costs Rise as Unemployment Drops (temp workers from stimulus pkg boosts labor costs) http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,686736,00.html "The total of 3.568 million jobless is 75,000 fewer than in February and 18,000 fewer than in March of last year -- for an unemployment rate of 8.5 percent. ....the rise in German labor costs appears to have resulted almost entirely from the country's short-time work program, a program instituted to help the country avoid massive layoffs during last- year's recession. The result was that, even as the government helped pay workers on the program, employers were still responsible for coming up with a third of the salaries for employees no longer laboring on the assembly lines. The result was a nominal loss in productivity and a concurrent rise in labor costs." AGW -------- Climate Catastrophe (climategate fallout) http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,687259,00.html "Last month Landsea, together with top US hurricane researchers, published a study that finally disproves the supposed link between hurricanes and global warming." More AGW under Climate Change (IPCC resignation, scandal, chaos) http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,k-6975,00.html James

Use the money to pay people to waste time That will increase the cost of labor Businesses will be able to afford fewer workers Repeat as needed. John

They seem annoyed. And, more generally, though Europeans started off following the Pied Piper's economic-crisis handling lead (stimulus packages, etc) toward the cliff, now they're having none of it, even as he continues to preach at them that they should, and twists their arms that they must. IOW, the love affair in Europe's over too. -- Cheers, James Arthur |
