"Which is, unfortunately, a two-edged sword."

Oh, I agree. It is just that being unemployed in Germany is a whole lot different than being unemployed in the US. So the impact of 5.4% is higher than 10%+ in Germany. So you can't really compare the two. Germany would kill for a 5.4% rate, but we have a lot of people hurting at that level. Saying "well, it is higher in Germany" adds exactly nothing to the discussion.

Actually, Walmart opened their first German store about 15 years ago. They aren't widespread, I've been tooling around northern Germany for about a week and haven't seen one. But you can find t-shirts are things for extremely low prices, we just bought a couple for 1 euro(VAT included). They have to come from somewhere...
