A: An inflation-causing endless wave of refugees
Leave it to the Germans to tie everything back to inflation.
Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann said today that the influx of refugees into Germany may create inflationary pressure.
How the heck will a wave of penniless immigrants who will work for minimum wage cause inflation?
Not even Donald Trump is paranoid enough to blame US inflation on Mexican immigrants.
Sure the German government will spend a bit of money to feed and house the refugees but that's far outweighed by the cheap labour.
I don't understand the German paranoia with "Ze Inflation!" Of all the episodes in German history, somehow the distant memory of their grandfathers hauling a wheelbarrow of near-worthless Deutschmarks to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread has left a permanent imprint on their DNA.
