I'm not 100% sure but I don't think she was hinting that Germany needs to go down the path that America has. Instead, I think she was highlighting that it is a give and take relationship but in Germany that taking has been one-sided. Compromises need to be made on both sides and like Codes stated, the sides need to meet halfway. Getting back to the path different countries can take, I believe Canada has shown that there is a path that works so long as people are giving as much as they are taking, which may not be the case in Germany during their recent history.
