    Just about the only positive is that now would be a pretty great time for Germany to borrow some money and spend it -- if they'd give up their austerity delusions.

This is what many economists have been arguing for the US for several years. Worry about long term structural problems, but don't worry about stimulus spending; its basically interest free right now.
