In what way are things worse in Europe than the US? Unemployment in the US is 8,2 percent, that maybe a bit lower than the +9% Germany has but at the same time Germany is not stifled by Chinese loans like the US. Did you know that if the US treasury would collect all the dept that the US government ows there would be a total collapse of the US economy. Iceland went through a total collapse of all the banks in the country and had to get help from the IMF, 3 years later we have paid almost 25% of that help back and still only have 7,5% unemployment. Stop whining and get to work rebuilding the USA like it was built during the babyboom, the biggest problem facing US economy today is people expecting the government to pay without realizing that the people make the government.
