#2 Tells you something about the deep hole that Germany's in today. Unification has been an economic, social and political disaster for them. They've saddled themselves with an unproductive dysfunctional welfare class some 20 million strong, a group of resenters whose political understanding is so backward that they long for totalitarian overlords.

The ossies are shaping up as a permanent drag on Germany's economic performance. To the extent the EU depends on the German economic engine, the EU is screwed.
