"Into the black" could be held
The Ministry points out that on paper, in 2016, the Bundesrepublik could, for the third year in a row forgoing new debts and still keeping in the "black" with the budget. A surplus of 6.2 billion euros had even been achieved. This was due above all to the high tax revenues and low interest rates.

And Germany and France have the audacity to criticize President Donald Trump and the US. As far as this American is concerned, they can go to blazes. Americans saw a few things and said, no, no, no, positively no. We looked at Europe's imminent takeover by Islam, one only has to look at Paris, London, Germany, Switzerland, to see the future of Europe. We looked at Europe's leaders and note they don't care at all about the native populations. We heard Hillary Clinton and knew she would fill our nation with Muslims. She said so. Then we saw Brexit happen. President Donald Trump said the words we never thought we'd hear, but wanted to hear. He's doing the impossible, and "relying on God more and more every day".
Please Europe, wake up soon.

Is it still properly called a "crisis" when they (left/commie neofascists) are purposefully creating the "crisis".
