    The economy was not sustainable with most of Germanies growth being in Infrastructure and Armaments. Hitler was preparing for war and the German economy was not sustainable. You didn't prove a source for that Britain and Germany gdp claim.

    How is infrastructure spending not 'sustainable'? What the fuck does that even mean?

    Also America has a massive, decades long and totally bloated amount of arms spending. They spend hundreds of billions of dollars on their armed forces every year. Sure seems pretty bloody sustainable to me.

    What should countries spend their money on in your opinion? In other words what are all these magical sustainable things we should spend our money on?

    It can only be built once and only a few people are needed for maintenance. The US is embroiled in wars around the world. Germany was actively preparing for war with Europe, if they didn't the economy would collapse.

    You're making a LOT of unsubstantiated claims.

    Its common sense less people are needed to take care of something than needed to build it.

    Utter rubbish. Maintenance, expansion and modification of the Autobahn alone has employed millions of Germans since its construction.

    Do you just make this stuff up?

    As the others have shown with real data most of this video is factually incorrect but answer the question: What is a 'sustainable' form of government spending in your opinion?

    Have a source for that?

    Id say sustainable spending is probably something like Sweden or the US before Ronald Reagan.

      The other factions were preparing because of German rearmament.

      You're quite the glutton for punishment aren't you ayatollah? Why are you making a new thread when you've failed to respond to the points presented by /u/Ynlinga in the previous thread (and now again in this thread)?

      [–]ayotollahsinIran[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      I can't make a counter argument

      I didn't say you couldn't. I just said you should have responded to the points in the other thread before making a new thread on a similar topic.

      Nazis paid for everything on credit and they lost the war before the debt was due
