Here's a joke:
America, the self-proclaimed 'greatest nation on earth' is too stupid of what to do about 30 million uninsured people.
America would have problems trying to outsmart a hamster.
Yet we have the most scientific patents in the world and top universities. Clearly we are idiots though since some jackass like you on the internet is a better judge.
Meh. It's obvious that the medical industry and insurance industries are in cahoots to rob people blind anyway. I'd much rather have a European system that still consistently delivers top notch service anyway.
I read the online versions of German newspapers. On March 12, 2012, the German healthcare system (which provides excellent healthcare) reported a surplus of $5.28 billion dollars.
Europe is not in a state of economic collapse. The economic collapse is in your head.
But like I said before, the great majority of Americans have no clue about what happens in Europe. God Bless Duh Americans. Go find another country to bomb, that's your best talent.
Those countrys don't care about the UK. They have the same relationship to the UK as they have to Germany.
Yeah, okay. Ever heard of the US–UK Mutual Defence Agreement? Because it is more far reaching then any agreement the United States has with any mainland European country. As far as the UK's relationship with Canada, New Zealand, and Australia go you do realize they all have the Queen as there monarch right? That says they do compare about the United Kingdom and then there are the commonwealth games as well. As far as the countries relationship go with the UK they are the deepest of any nation except for the United States and Canada who have an ever closer relationship. So your comment here tells me you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

There are projected to be 10 million less germans by 2050. Know your facts.
Every projection I've seen has been 20 million not 10 million so list a source if you believe that is what it will be.

Plus there are no reliable statistics about that because you can't predict what is happening in the next 40 years.
The only way Germany could stop its population drop due to low fertility is through massive immigration but seeing as how unsuccessful that has been in Europe I doubt we'll see that happen.

I think there are going to be great years for countries like Germany and Scandinavia because they have a high educated workforce and sound social policies.
There social safety net programs are going to go bust here in the upcoming decades.

Many experts think automation will make up for a declining population in the future.
You won't have the income from workers to support the elderly population so if there is a decline in workers due to automation that is going to make the problem even worse. However, technology is a double edge sword reducing employment in one area and creating it in another.

Industrial countries with high growth of people with low education will face mass structural unemployment.
The US is already a highly educated country, we aren't exactly lacking college education in this country.

Lol, remain calm all is well.
"Of all the members of the European Union, Greece was hit the hardest by the recession because it was half a trillion dollars in debt and has only 11 million people. The EU agreed to bail out Greece, with the largest checks coming from its strongest member, Germany. In return for the loans, Greeks would have to abide by a financial austerity program that included laying off 150,000 public workers, salary reductions of 20 percent, higher taxes and lower government spending. It’s understandable that Greeks were upset with Germany says Schaeuble. “When you have countries or people who have been living beyond their means, and now they have to apply some austerity, they have to make cuts, they have to reform their labor market…people tend to push the blame to others,” Schaeuble says. “They are looking for scapegoats. It’s perfectly normal,” he tells Kroft"
I suggest you step out from behind your computer, hop on a plane, see the world, and learn something.
Cheers!
