THE N-S KOREAN UNIFICATION - JUST A "GOOD DEAL"(^^)

"An report estimated that it would cost North Korea 39.7 trillion won (approx. US$ 42.7 billions) during the first 14 years of reform and development." according to an article published 4.11 in DailyNK. (read the entire stuff here)

Yeah, so hurry up with the unification!! Because, perhaps later it will be a little more expensive. Right now it seems that the S.K. capitalists will have to spend just "peanuts" for to realize the N-S unification..

Well, just to be a little more serious: The reunification of East and West Germany was/is still f.. expensive!!

Even East Germany (the former GDR/German Democratic Republic) was almost a "Red Economy Power" (so a report of the West German TV/WDR/ broadcasted in the early 1980's) after the reunification in 1990 Billions of D-Mark/Euro were spent - of course paid by the ordinary (in the beginning West German) tax payers. Already in 1995 we estimated that at least US$600 Billion were spent for the unification until that time.

The bourgeoise German daily newspaper FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) wrote nearly three years ago (2004.9.19) that the "costs - so fare - for the reunification with 1,5 Trillion (yeah, you read well: 1,5 TRILLION!!!) Euro are higher than expected.."

Once again: in the 1980's the GDR was a kind of economically "well" developed country. Ha, for example: after I was deported in 1985 from the East to the West I saw so many products (in more ore less good quality, such as "stereo music centers", washing mashines ect..) "Made in GDR" in West Germany's shops (BTW.. the same products in the East never we were able to buy..).

And now North Korea/DPRK: "one of the poorest countries" in the world.. The main parts of the (former) industrial basis isn't existing anymore.. A kind of infrastructure: not existing.. Lack of electricity.. Nourishment problems for large parts of the population.. Etc..

OK, later more about it..
