    1923. Not 1933

    Frequently get's confused.

    Hitler was not involved in the recovery from the hyper-inflationary days of the early 1920's

    He was in power when Germany was badly affected by the Depression of the 1930's and it was from that situation that he built his war machine.

  • When you add in housing benefit/council tax rebates/tax credits etc they probably end up on way more than minimum wage:p
    not really, although if we got them to do work their benefits would need to at least be minimum wage, otherwise they'd all run to the european court of human rights.

    Of course. There is an argument that the government subsidises low wages, because a full time worker on £5.73/hour (35 hours per week) earns £10,400. At that level you will get very large amounts of benefits, provided you have children.

    Food for thought.

    How did Hitler after the 1933 german hyperinflation problem in just 7 years rebuild a country powerful enough to take over half of the world, 7 pocket battleships an airforce a navy and an army from a country in financial ruin?

    forgeting the monster he was he must of also been an economic genius.

    he did all that and wasnt supposed to of been able to do any of it since they banned the germans after WW1.

    where did he get the money from?

    Ocean Finance?

    yeah, they consolidated those reparations into one easy manageable monthly payment.

    apparently carol vorderman was involved.

    Indeed.

    And given the personal allowance is £6035 and income tax is 31%, that means net income is £7176, and benefits are £12943.
