If you can read German, you can find this all over Germany. It is a real issue for a 10%+ unemployment rate.
We don't make our own food or fuel or cloths or furnature on these bases. It all comes from the local community support and contracts. Also, the money spent off base by 30,000 poeple on a regular basis is huge.
Also, you get me worng as usual. I don't hate Germans, I dislike their government policies. Ha, sound familiar?

This fear that Germans have is not needed though. As you will probably know the US closed a few bases globally toward the end of last year and in to the beginning of this year. Economic reserach was carried out on the communiites that had lost bases and the finindgs showed that " these areas are faring well compared to national economic indicators", 69% of these areas had unemployment figures under the national average and that 48%had rates of growth above the national average.
Well we will have to wait and see what happens I guess. You and me could go on forever swapping stories, facts and figures but ultimately it will be down to the people in the villages on whether or not they remain economically strong.
Europe and America is a Love - Hate relationship.
Money and governemt.
As Europe moves to a more open society with more Muslims setting up camp, I think there will be less and less vacations there as time goes by. It's bad enough to get robbed or spit on in France and when they start burning the American flag over there (and it will happen), I for one will have reservations for going there for work or pleasure.

The impact of US plans to pull some 70,000 troops out of Europe and Asia is likely to be felt most acutely in Germany — especially in smaller towns whose economies depend on the US presence.
Here we are in April of 2006 and you some of you are still stubbornly clinging to remaining way way off track when it comes to the events of Sept., 2001.
It is categorically impossible to hijack a Boeing 767 or 757 because their appurtenant anti-hijacking system code named "Home Run" would come into play. The flight crews on 767s and 757s have their choice of up to seven key pad locations on board whereas they can type in a four digit code alarming air traffic control of an attempted hijacking. The aircraft would be taken over electronically from the ground and flown to a military airfield.
It was this very anti-hijacking design feature "Home Run" that was being tested in the Amalgam Virgo and Triad military war games exercises on Sept., 2001.It was under the cover of these anti hijacking drills that flights 11, 175, and possibly 77 (if it ever actually took off) were taken over, redirected and flown to secret air port facilities under the control of the Synarchist US invisible government.
The original planes were hastily replaced by drones in order to feign a Kamikaze style attack on at least the two WTC towers. Two aircraft within 50 meters of one another appear as one to air traffic controllers on radar screens. That's how the switches were made ,and that's why the planes appeared to cut off their transponders and make sharp changes of direction.
A commuter size Saab drone hit the first tower, and then a very specially modified 767-300 drone hit the second tower .A cruise missile hit the Pentagon. The reason it looked like the transponders were cut off is because the "Home Run" system works through the FM signal ports normally used by the transponders by overpowering the transporter FM signal with a much stronger reverse signal. The reason the black box tapes were blank is that these tapes are on a thirty minute loop and the aircraft were under "Home Run" control from the ground
for more than thirty minutes.
America needs to quickly wake up to the fact that the events of 9/11 were fake simulations (Synthetic Terror), and that talk of there having been 19 Arab hijackers is pure flapdoodle,Zacharias Moussoui's torture induced lies
not withstanding. If America continues worshipping at the feet of the 9/11 myth,the Synarchist invisible government will do something much larger in scale and then have the Bush Junta declare martial law and bring about the onset of internment and mass extermination of Americans.
