U.S. Stimulus vs. German Austerity

David Brooks compares the U.S. and German governments' reactions to the financial crisis. One borrowed heavily to stimulate its economy, the other didn't.

(Actually it was economist Gary Becker who did the heavy lifting. But Brooks deserves credit for reporting it.)
