Only during the time of Clinton.

No not just when Clinton was president. Going at least back to the end of the recession in the early 80s.

Clinton was the first American president to reduce welfare rolls.

Because he was the first president with a Republican congress that would pass welfare reform.

There is no question that there is less entrepreneurs in Germany but certainly not to the point where the country suffers.

If by "not to the point where the country suffers" you mean not to the point where it is a mess of misery and malaise then I agree with you, but it is to the point where the country suffers in the sense that it is worse off then it would be if it had more entrepreneurs.

By your standards........by they're standards, they run fairly well. Not everyone wants what you want......and they may disagree with you on what you consider good.

What does that statement have to do with my comment, which you quoted - "They have enough capitalism to generate the wealth to pay for the socialism. If they where predominately socialist they probably would either collapse or stagnate. In any case they don't run as well as they could if they had less socialism."

What by my standards? I didn't say that they are collapsing or stagnating by any standards. I said they would if they where predominantly socialist.
