Holger Zschaepitz(@Schuldensuehner):Good Morning from Germany, where the prosperity gap w/America keeps widening. PPP GDP/capita: US $90,027, Germany $75,407, Eurozone $67,483. The last European hope: the median. But even that disappoints. OECD median disposable household income: US $46.6k vs Germany $36.2k. So much for the comforting thesis that America only looks richer b/c its billionaires distort the average.
