	Germany: Christian Democrats nominate right-winger Stoiber to run for chancellor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) have launched their joint campaign for this year’s general election with bombastic slogans and aggressive attacks on the Social Democratic-Green Party government.
		Loud applause by CSU functionaries, and even their standing ovations and shouts of joy, could not hide the fact that Stoiber remains disputed as the candidate for chancellor in the CSU’s larger sister party, the CDU.
		He is reacting to strong social and political currents, and his complicated and tortuous formulations create the impression that he himself does not yet know what views he will adopt in the future.

	The United States as a Job Creation Machine: an Example for Germany?--Flemming Larsen
		Trade unions in Germany have tended to push up hourly wages to the benefit of the employed (insiders) but to the detriment of the unemployed, of workers who may become unemployed, and of those discouraged from entering the labor force (jointly known as outsiders).
		Taken together, the tax and social security systems impose a much smaller "wedge" between gross and net wages in the United States than in Germany; there is thus a smaller disincentive effect on both employers and employees.
		However, the net replacement ratio, including social assistance, in the 60th month of unemployment is only 0-17 percent in the United States for a couple with and without children compared with 37-71 percent in Germany.

	Bavaria's Conservatives Show Strength in German State Election
		The victory by the party, the Christian Social Union, and its leader, Edmund Stoiber, was a foregone conclusion even before the campaign started.
		With the Christian Social Union picking up seats from smaller parties that failed to win the 5 percent minimum for a seat, it will probably assemble a politically impregnable two-thirds majority in the state Parliament.
		The Christian Social Union also benefited from the fact that Bavaria has a more robust economy and a lower unemployment rate than the rest of the country.
