All they've ever been told by their parents and grandparents was about how they did the right thing, smashing communism and all that, and now they're being told that these people were little better than Hitler...
...financing structure of the country's health-care system. The appointment of a relative ingénu to this key post caused widespread surprise. One newspaper carried the headline: "FDP Youngster in a Dogfight." But some analysts say his youth and inexperience in federal government will not be a huge issue. " Rösler is very competent, he's a doctor and he's already served as minister in the regional government in Lower Saxony," Oskar Niedermayer, a political science professor at the Free University of Berlin, tells TIME...
