The Government of Nazi run Germany under Hitler was a well designed and successful government.

I agree with my opponent when he mentioned that Hitler and the Nazi Party helped bring national pride back to the Germans. Hitler was a nationalist, that was what he was suppose to do. My opponent also discussed about the economic factor with the Nazi government. I will do the same. What Hitler did in regards to the unemployed: Hitler wanted an economic plan that can solve unemployment and lift Germany back on its feet. A number of policies were introduced which caused the unemployment figures to drop. For starters, women were no longer included in the statistics, basically any women who remained out of work under the Nazi's reign did not exist as far as the statistics were concerned. Jews lost their citizenship in 1935 and as a result were not included in the unemployment figures either, even though many lost their employment at the start of Hitler's time in power. The unemployed were given two options: do whatever work is given to you by the government or you will be considered as "work-shy" and be put in a concentration camp. Young men were taken off the unemployment figure by joining the military and working in factories to make weapons for the military. The Nazis introduced public work schemes for men who worked in the National Labour Service, which included digging ditches on farms, building new parts to the Autobahn, planting new forests, etc. These guys lived in camps and earned money (from the taxpayer's money). The German Labour Front was put forth to protect those people. The GLF took the role of trade unions, which were banned. Workers could not be fired on the spot, but could quit without the government's permission. The KDF took are of worker leisure time. They also involved itself in introducing a scheme whereby the workers could get a car, The Volkswagen (People's Car). The bad side of the Nazi's economic thinking: At first, it seems like Hitler has done good to the economy. However, the hidden side is not shown. Women and Jews were excluded from the workforce, like outcasts, creating inequality. Also, no one received a car. The millions of money, marks, invested in the scheme were actually re-directed into the rapidly expanding weapons factories. If you mentioned about not getting your car, you would get into trouble with the secret police. Government income had been 10 billion Reichsmarks in 1928. In 1939, it stood at 15 billion. Government spending went from 12 billion marks in 1928 to over 30 billion in 1939. The Nazi government always spent more than it earned and by 1939, government debt stood at over 40 billion marks. Food consumption also decreased. The only increase was in rye bread, cheese and potatoes. Wages were adjusted to allow for inflation. What Hitler did was he simply altered the economy to extreme measures. Instead of allowing the free-market to readjust itself, Hitler artificially fixed the economy. Any smart economist should know that allowing government to fix the economy actually makes the economy worse than before. Hitler made it worse. In terms of the creation of the Autobahn, for example, it was made by government, increasing government spending. A private company could of made the roads, creating much less trouble for the Nazi German economy. The government also artificially fixed the unemployment, by getting rid of a group of people by force to lower it. The people employed into the new jobs were created by the public sector, not the private sector. If Hitler had allowed "hated" groups to work and the rest of the population were hired in the private sector, the economy would have been booming, not artificially. The private sector drives in the wealth and innovation of an economy, not the public sector, being the government. Wages were also artificially balanced by the Nazi government, instead of allowing wages to come down naturally to correct itself. This was how much success there was in Nazi Germany, not much. Next round, I will discuss the validity of the Nazis having a "well-designed government" and Hitler's ideology, Nazism.
