Schroeder is in the German "Green Party"? News to him. Alert the media!
WestGermany took on a lot when they reunited with the East.
Looks like they havent done a particularly good job of it.
France on the other hand, at 9.5% has no such excuse.
BTW, all depends how you measure the rate.
OECD report last september put Germany at 9.9%
