Well, any nation that thinks it's capable of regional domination always attempts it, don't they? The Germans have the strongest economy in western Europe at present, so naturally, they have attempted it.

Here's my quick "solution" to the world's economic problems (which have been driven by debt). Cancel all existing national debts! And start over at zero, without countries (and their taxpayers) being hobbled by past debt.

Who would lose out if we did that? International bankers would. Everyone else would benefit.

Thank you very much for listening. ;-D I know it won't happen, but it was fun getting a chance to propose "the solution".
