Yea, it works so well, in Germany & France, that they have double digit
unemployment.

French - 10.2% or 2.8 million people
German - 12.6% in March 2005 or 5.2 million people

German econmic growth is almost in reverse. Projected to be just 1% for
2005.

For comparsion, the US is at 4.9% as of Aug 2005 - In Japan it was 4.4 in
May.
