My New Year's greeting this year is little late and I would like to thank all the readers for the approximately 32,000 visitors of my blog last year. I hope you all have happy holidays and, this time literally, had a happy new year 2011. This year will be my blog mainly with the economy and politics, not only in Germany deal. Just 10 days old is the year and it is already quite remarkable happened.
The German Society for language has the "Wutbürger" to the word of the year. "Wutbürger" stands for the outrage in the community, "that political decisions are taken out of their sight." The Wikipedia describes the Wutbürger "... as a wealthy conservative people, the" not young ", formerly left and a" state-supporting "but now" is outraged about politicians. " He break "with the bourgeois tradition that the political center also includes an inner focus, "such as calmness or composure."
"Wutbürger" which is the Stuttgart 21 protesters, in large part not the seemingly typical Profiprotestler, but the Normalo- citizens. The rather humble to be put on the annual Wahlkreuzchen political blank check to the spontaneous demonstration right dared to use. But he added this year to select the best options:
2011 elections: 2/20/2011 state election in Hamburg, 20.3.2011 state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, 27.3.2011 state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate , State elections in Baden-Wurttemberg, local elections in Hesse state election in Bremen 22/05/2011, 09/04/2011 state election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony in local elections 09/11/2011, 18/09/2011 House of Representatives election in Berlin. Nine elections, which will provide plenty of entertainment. And of course, will be the warranty, not only for many political folly and unintentional comedy, but also to secure political and populist nonsense at virtual standstill with respect to real progress.
"no alternative" would actually be my favorite for a word of the year was. It is said to be yes no alternative, the citizens through boundless, both in terms of their height and nationality, financial transfers to take off from the bottom up to the periosteum. This carnage is no alternative in 2011, all claims to the contrary notwithstanding, and achieve even abstruse new highlights.
slip first time among the other EU colleagues, ultimately West German rescue : "Germany and France, Portugal, according to a press report in the magazine Euro-rescue. It would be to Greece and Ireland, the third state, which can help the rest of the euro countries. " Potugal course is just another domino that is as factually bankrupt such as Iceland, Ireland and Greece. But even the big countries, Spain and Italy this year there are huge sums refinance old debt to replace them by even higher new debt, and will get for strangling interest demands. The extension of the "emergency parachute" to virtually unlimited levels is virtually certain. And, even the strongest in the league, the FRG and thus the Germans, but are straight. As part of the election year, it will be interesting to see whether the bourgeois parties this year at all times comes to mind, the sole profiting capital side of society with some over trifles beyond and to bring immediate and participation in the cost of your rescue.
China wants to jump in here happy. Because Beijing has 2.6 trillion dollars and euros in turn have values before beginning the descent may be correct. China will try as much as possible to the bonds, due place. The risk that the Greek gift was adopted in the EU, is great. And the EU will in the future as dependent on China to make grace, as the United States already is.
But not only the EU is on a knife edge, and the U.S. a few steps in front of the abyss : "... What does Barack Obama? The U.S. president, political have taken a severe, leaves the U.S. Federal Reserve increasing dollar amounts of tilt in the economy. Funds that do not stay in the U.S., but barely controlled slosh around the globe. Want to ruin the U.S. dollar as world currency? ... The situation is dangerous: China, Brazil, Japan and other countries have announced retaliatory measures against the flood of money from the U.S., "
The Secretary Geithner before U.S. bankruptcy warned might have only been a disturbing political maneuver. may be, as the U.S. finally print as much money as they want and need. But the have to the teeth armed U.S. Wutbürger already a warning sign set: I've "..." always suspected, "best-selling author Alisa Valdes, who lives in Albuquerque in the neighboring state of New Mexico says, but spends much time in Arizona. "The next U.S. civil war will break out in Arizona."
"Jared L. Lee, American Hero," postulated time on Sunday, a new Facebook page, in allusion to the alleged shooting death of Tucson. "Begin The man who fired the first shots of the U.S. Civil War of 2011. Let the revolution!" . That there was a job of this "hero" outside the U.S. probably more appropriate: Korea, Japanese Islands, Taiwan, Iran, enough possibilities with the main creditors to put China and the plight employment and improve the Arizona youth.
2011 will therefore be an eventful year. Because of the fabled nine elections, it will go to Germany quite round. Compared to other countries, we will endure this but economically relatively well, because in addition to China and emerging countries, we are still preliminary at the top of the world economy.
Nevertheless On the northern axis of Washington-Berlin-Moscow-Beijing will be made in 2011 paved the way for far-reaching shifts in power. Funds, which are printed on paper promises between states, citizens, Investors and military powers, promises that are the best will no longer be covered and must be broken definitively. Only at whose expense and at what price is the question as quickly as possible, elections or not to be answered. This is the biggest financial crisis in history not later than in the 2020s opens into a global superpower war depends on the ability or inability of democratic politicians, not least in Berlin, the untenable promise of a world out of joint financial order should be redefined.
