Germany mulls sweeping surveillance bill, crypto backdoors and fingerprinting kids

This is being blown way out of proportion. This is the government we are talking about, when has given more power to a government ever worked out badly? Germany in particular has never had a government that seized more control and then did horrible things unless you are one of those idiots that believes history books.

Out of all the problems facing the German, this is by far the most pressing. Some would say the fact that the German economy is imploding with the trade surplus growing to a historic high in recent times, a declining population and emerging markets being better addressed by Asian economies, that Germany has bigger problems to address, problems that affect more German livelihoods and their futures but that is nonsense, all these claims about the German economy from the likes of the World Economy Institute in Hamburg are just off the mark. This is what the Germans should be focusing on.

Regardless of your stance on this I’m sure we can all agree that “History repeats itself” is a pretty interesting phrase.
