Hmmm, seems like I touched a nerve? That wasn't my intention. I was welcoming you to FR.
So, I guess I'll play...
- The EU is a larger economy than the US
Let's see, how many countries are you including in that statement? Last I checked the EU was projected to have a larger economy by 2010 (with the inclusion of more countries).
- US GDP growth is presently slower than that of the EU
"Presently," is the operative word here. The U.S. over the last seven quarters has had growth far larger than the EU.
And, to think, I was giving the Swedes a compliment in my last post. Go figure.
Anyway, since I've been on this planet, Europe hasn't been able to defend itself from internal or external threats, and the U.S. ends up saving your collective asses each time. Sacrificing our talent, treasure and blood.
Be advised, we might not come a fourth time. You and the rest of your continent may end up with Sharia law, your women in burqas, and dhimmitude status (if you're lucky).
I don't know what bunched your panties, but next time let's be a little more considerate, and friendly.

The words "For the sake of competition" means "For the sake of competition", my friend.
Competition is vital.
It's true that US economical growth has been much, much higher than the EU one for years. But that is no longer the case! The economy of the EU is accelerating while The US is facing a slowdown.
It is true that the US GDP/Capita is a larger one than that of most of its european counterparts. But what parts of Europe are Americans wishing to compete with? Southern Italy or Scandinavia? The US is poorer than Scandinavia and that is because the industrial base of the US is less productive.
