Donald J Trump

Looks like it is 4.5% and not 6.3%

Although different sources give different numbers.

Hmmm...Germany's jobless rate is at a 5-year low...Not bad for all those immigrants coming into Germany.

I'm sorry LJAd, what were you saying about Germany's big unemployment problems?

 

Looks like Trump's champagne is turning out to be sour grapes.

??? As a country Germany essentially has no unemployment problem. An economy like that of Germany or the US needs an unemployment rate around 5% plus or minus a percent or two. That doesn't mean that it isn't a problem for the unemployed but that's a different matter. Even that 6.3% (that's the annual figure right) is a record low at least since the unification I believe.

 

NO : it it was 4.5 % of the workforce, the workforce would be 61 million,which is out of the question .

if it was 4.5 % of the population, the number of unemployed would be 3.6 million which is out of the question .

But if it was 6.3 % of the workforce,the workforce would be 43 million which is very probable .


Besides,what is important is not the unemployment rate,but the number of unemployed : some 2. 8 million,which remains the same since a year .

For Euro 28 (the 28 members of the EU) the number of unemployed is more than 17 million,and it will not decrease in the near future .

 

I am not : if there was big fighting in Ukraine, all TV networks would talk about ;they do not . There is no news about the Ukraine on European networks ;if you would ask people about a war in Ukraine, they would answer you : what war ?

 

The crisis in Europe is not a production problem (if needed production can immediately be increased) but a consumption problem eople are consuming less,because they have less money .At the end of this year there will be more than 1 million Muslim immigrants in Germany fit to work . 99 % of them will be unemployed,because there is no work,and for everyone of them who gets work, one (or more ) Germans will lose their job .

 

It is 4.5% using the harmonised jobless rate

 

German's are consuming less???

Apparently not...

But, then again, LJAd never lets facts stand in the way.

 

Besides adding more people to the equation is pretty much guaranteed to increase demand which will likely lead to further increases in consumption.

 

Where did I say that the Germans consumed less ?

 

The migrants will cost Germany this year 50 billion euro,result will be : more taxes, more taxes means less money for the tax payer,thus he will consume less . Germany is almost broken, that's why the German finance minister proposed a European fuel tax = the other Europeans should pay these 50 billion . But the outcry was that strong that Schäuble immediately withdrawed his proposal .

 

Ahh...So, that is LJAd's problem. Reading comprehension.

It is an estimated €22 billion this year, and €27.6 billion next year.

Quite a leap from September, 2015, when it was 1.8 billion and 3.3 billion euros

I wonder who screwed up on their numbers...

 

Maybe we could meet in east Ukraine and have a beer with my Russian Ukrainian friends and my Ukrainian Ukrainian friends and have a beer together with them and talk about it. You can ask them "what war".

 

What war?

That war.

I just drop in to see a car crash in slow motion.

The Donald still has the gum marks on his bumper from when he had a Hillary sticker on his limousine. I think (I hope) Cruz knocks the Donald completely out in the next two states.

Epic thread!

 

Haha :who is talking about reading problems ?

2015 : the official liars were predicting 800000 migrants and a cost of 11 billion euro, reality was 1.1 million and 22.7 billion .

2016 : official prognoses (from the official liars) are : more than 1 million and 27 billion euro .

But,as one could expect, the Merkel gang is disguising the fact that the 1.1 million of 2015 will continue to cost.

Thus the real cost in 2016 will be : 22.7 billion for the 1.1 million from 2015 + 27 billion for the + 1 million who will arrive this year = a total of 50 billion .

And for 2017, the cost will be 50 billion + X billion for the new comers of 2017 .Probably more than 80 billion


And for 2018,one can expect a cost of more than 100 billion .And the economic and social collaps of Germany .

 

Your hope is not confirmed by the polls who are

1 Trump 29 %

2 Rubio 18 %

3 Cruz : 13 %

 

It is true that left wing media can under report numbers and incidents...happens here anyway...

 

Darth Trump was also leading in the Iowa polls...

Does this mean he will lose again?

 

They are polls. Basically, a small sampling of people who's answers are extrapolated to represent the larger whole.
