My confession is that I'm glad to live in Germany!
It seems like the whole world is going down: US, Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, UK etc. The populations are getting poorer and poorer. They just cut, cut and cut and raise taxes.
It's so surreal!
You see those countries in the TV with their riots and you feel like an Island. Like you don't live on the same continent or the same world. When you turn off the TV everything is fine - at least in your country. We even lowered the taxes and spent more on social welfare and yet our deficit is sinking and we're surplus country.
Germany, Bitches!
