What the hell are you talking about....?
Ok, easy...What Socialist country of like size in population would you like to see us emulate? and why?
Population is irrelevant, but you could count the EU at 450 million. The question is why are we the only modern country without a living wage health Care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and mainly taxing the rich and giant corporations their fair share? Thanks GOP and silly dupes. Franco in my name stands for Francophile. Just because we have those benefits of citizenship does not mean we're going to turn into Frenchmen LOL. Just that we will have a healthy working and middle-class and our economy will work again for people beside the rich like The last 35 years. Everything you know is wrong, only the propaganda machine makes this GOP Mess possible. "We are all socialists now!"--the prime minister of Finland when ObamaCare passed... That is how scary socialism is in reality....
So you think that the EU is more prosperous than the US?
"Average gross domestic product (GDP) in the US is about 40% higher than average GDP of the EU-15 when measured at purchasing power parity (PPP). The gap is slightly greater if we consider either the twelve Eurozone members (EU-12) or add the accession states (EU-25). Although GDP is a poor indicator of measure of welfare or happiness, let’s agree to use it for the sake of comparison.
The main reason the US is richer is, first of all, because a higher proportion of Americans are in employment and, secondly, they work about 20% more hours per year than Europeans."
snip
"When we compare the growth rate of GDP of the US and the EU-15, the US rate averaged over the past decade is about 1.2 percentage points higher than that of the EU-15."
snip
"What is also true is that since the 2001 recession, the US has bounced back faster than the EU. At present, both GDP growth per head and labour productivity are growing faster in the US."
snip
"The employment rates are 86 and 88 percent for the EU-15 and the US respectively. The US data show a higher employment rate for youth (15-24) and a much higher rate for preretirement (55-64) and post retirement (65 and over) groups."
Europe vs. USA: Whose Economy Wins?
So let's see,
1. larger economy
2. Bounced back faster since ressession
3. lower unemployment
Hmmmm....US wins in all three catagories...
