Germany doesn't have a massive forclosure bubble, does it? I think cutting some spending in good times is fine, but cutting in bad times would almost certainly lead to higher unemployment... basically kicking the economy when it's down...

The budget cuts aren't even implemented yet. Let's compare the proposed cuts to anything Republicans have proposed: "The savings planenvisages รข‚¬80bn-worth of cuts over the next three and a half years and involves proposals to slash defence spending, abolish military conscription and postpone plans to rebuild a replica of Berlin's former Prussian imperial palace..." "The programme also contains a number of controversial measures which include extending the lifespan of Germany's nuclear power plants, imposing a "flight tax" on air travel and cutting spending on welfare and unemployment benefits. Thousands of civil service jobs will also be axed. However income tax, VAT and spending on pensions and education will remain at present levels. Ms Merkel insisted that there was no alternative to the cuts package. But her government has faced criticism abroad for cutting too much and thereby putting growth at risk." Military cuts and new taxes. I wonder how the Republicans would of react if Democrats had the balls to propose such things. .
