About #1, it's actually gone up since then, which is why I think you're using the older statistic.

of course the deficit is going down thanks to the sequester, and budget impasse, not an actual policy.

These all SOUND good, but #5 and #9 are actually bad news in the long run.

Germany's favorability is actually about 40% higher than the US. It's 10 percentage points higher.

The deficit being halved is bullshit. They're presenting it as a % of GDP, and they start at 2009, when the recovery began.

It's more an indicator of GDP going up.

Re. #3: the flynn effect isn't like that. We're teaching toward the tests, & making tests that are better/more accurate. It's up for debate.

I'll agree. It sometimes seems that the smarter we get, the less common sense is used

Remember guys, no matter how hated you currently are, Germany proves you can change people's opinions of you, in about 70 years.
