11. Your political candidates….
Candidate A says- There are no simple or quick solutions to our problems, we need to put people back to work but it will be gradual. We have to work within our system. We need to provide for the poor and sick, we need to avoid reckless military spending, we need to honor our debts and treaties. If we start arguing and questioning each other, we will not be united for the hard work at hand.

12. Candidate B says- This shows how wrong our system is
Candidate B says- This shows how wrong our system is. The poor are getting even poorer and the government just keeps printing money. The rich have invested in gold, not paper money. So this harms the poor. The wealth gap between the superrich and common worker is unacceptable. We need to overthrow this system, take control of big factories and industry and redistribute the wealth to everyone equally.

13. Candidate C says-Germany may have worthless money, but it is not a poor country. It has been exploited by non-Germans who are taking our jobs. We have resources and land and we can start a new currency backed by that. We then invest in our economy, schools, infrastructure & military by spending government money to put people back to work. With the increased jobs, more people will be employed and they will support the economy by spending more money. Germany needs a strong leader with vision to see possibilities and rebuild our greatness!
