Nah
Germany is just being screwed over by supply-side economics. Their turn to take one for the team.
A military buildup at least would be an industry they can support.
The oil shock of 1979 by OPEC…but hold on…today we are the number one exporter. Oil shock? Just our turn to be porked.
Imagine some folks want to see us porked now.
Germany does not need to be self-sufficient in NG or oil. Instead they are a debtor nation. Just like us. Nothing to do with the poor getting benefits. A lot to do with the rich wanting tax cuts.
2018 German tax cuts, an almost complete death to the German economy. Why not? The people love it.
From 2017, 2018, and 2019 the US has sub par for the ignorant real GDP growth.
