[TD="class: msgtxt"]Declining population equal negative economic growth is a self-fulfil prophecy that PAP wants you to believe.

Germany economy to grow 3.3% in 2011; Employment to expand by 490,000 people; Budget deficit may dip to 0.2% of GDP in 2012

There is a slider bar at the bottom. Makapaaa would do very well without taking in posts from elsewhere to post here. I would prefer we do not copy from other websites, it lowers our dignity. Surely we can make our own threads?
