But, in all fairness, Schroder has been trying to reform the German socialist state. In a spirit of moderation, he's been trying to do it with baby steps. Even that proved too much for the coddled German unions. They voted against Schroder because they're quite happy with their 6+ weeks of vacation at exorbitant wages, thank you very much, and if that means 11 percent unemployment for those guys without jobs, bummer.<BR/><BR/>Schroder on the ropes, good; German economy continues to goosestep over the cliff, bad.
