Hi tracy,

>Walter, from what I hear, Dresden is suffering the effects of the economic crisis as are other areas. The whole of Germany is suffering from a high unemployment rate. Their system is bloated and at risk of collapsing in the longrun if things don't change.

Well unemployment is always a concern for the economy of an country, but though I'm not an economist, I think the nation debt is another big factor. I would say that equally the US has to do something about their increasing debt or the system will collapse as well.

Walter,
