But while that approach might work for Europe, it is risky for the US. The nation would be better off embracing traditional American values like self-reliance and small government.

I only quote this for a little ad-hominem: Straubhaar means raised hair. This commentary is haarsträubend - hair-raising. He heads HWWI, a neolib economics think-tank which was kicked from the body advising the federal government for lousy evaluation results, but seems to have a column reserved at SPIEGEL -- see diaryfrom 2008. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
The nation would be better off embracing traditional American values like self-reliance and small government greed and invading helpless, innocent countries, stealing their resources and killing their populations.
