#1 I had a conversation with a German fellow at work. He was very proud how the Germans and Dutch had figured out how to make lots of people part time so that more people had jobs. Sounded like a good plan at the time.

Then I realized that you now have more people barely getting by. More people with little descrationary spending to flow back into the economy and create jobs. And it still hasn't dented the high unemployement rates in Europe.

Perhaps a Socialist economy isn't the best solution after all. /sarcasm.
