Off-Topic-- fb, <<According to my friend in Germany, this means "Anti-business,Anti-capitalism." Since Germany is the "engine" pulling the economic train in Europe, one can only wonder what the future implications of this must portend.>> IMHO, this portends even more reason (on US shores) and rationale for Greenspan et al. to ease 1/4% immediately, if not 1/2% on the overnight rate tomorrow. We'll see how globally connected and aware the other Fed governors are soon, especially once the meeting's minutes and votes are released. Regards, QuadK

Eric and fb, I am from Vienna. So I know the political situation in Germany very well. First of all, there is only one communistic party, called PDS. They are the followers of the SED, who ruled Eastern Germany for more than 30 years. To call the Green party communistic is simply not true. There are two groups in this party ("fundis and realos"), the last one took control. Some "fundis" maybe be called communists, but their influence is small. "Realos" support the capitalistic system like the SPD, CDU and FDP. The real communists are sitting in the PDS (5% of population, including me). So what will change under a SPD/GREEN-coalition? IMO nothing. Maybe there will be some problems with the NATO, with nuclear energy, some changes in social politics. But nothing for a capitalist to worry about.
