The showing of the conservative parties was even stronger than the exit polls suggested, though not exactly a landslide. The weaker-than-usual showing of the CDU/CSU and the strongest-ever showing of the FDP now indicate that Angela Merkel can well justify significant, if not sweeping, tax cuts to spur new job creation and de-regulation. And unapologetic nuclear power for energy also seems likely. Her coalition tilts right on economic recovery policies and toward reality on energy.
Can you imagine such a recovery program in the United States just now? Talk it up!
