Here's a slap-dash translation or abridged version of DIW bombshell: The German consumer can look forward to getting his next roll of toilet paper for free, if the finance minister Eichel realizes the potential of 65 M consumers, waiting for the next step of the tax reform to start earlier than initially planned. The major beneficiaries of the unplanned but not unexpected drop in German GDP forcasts are the holiday companies, which are already started ad drives like "Sell Disney, goto Disneyland" or "Colorado winter season is MUCH longer at 1:1 exchange rate". So far best response from public to: "Stay home for a long winter season" by Heimatwehreisen. ...to be continued, Jay Now on a completely different note, as Monty Python used to say: Dr. Ruth Westheimer (see AOL-online) expressed firm belief that the strong dollar does not do justice to the softer aspects of US economy:"...there is always an inner child hidden within us..."
