There she blows
Article Abstract:
Germany has been forced to drastically increase its public-sector debt to finance its attempts to rebuild the economy of Eastern Germany. In 1991, the German government received only 30 billion DM in taxes from the East, while it doled out 170 billion DM in aid. Still more aid will be needed.

Now it's Germany's turn
Article Abstract:
The German economy's growth rate is falling rapidly, due in part to the effects of an overvalued D-mark. Chancellor Helmut Kohl is pinning his hopes for recovery on an agreement between German unions and the government on wage demands and public spending constraints.
