You are drawing conclusions that are not based on facts, results, and statistics. You are drawing them out of your.... well, biases.
You are a poor analyst because you don't actually analyze based on a wide range of data, you merely find a data point that you think you understand, and that appears to conform to your wishes about how the world is, and you draw unsupported inferences from it.
Never mind all the Europeans chiming in with explanations of their political systems. Nope, doesn't matter. You've figured it out.
Reminds me of Daffy Duck screaming "I'm right! I'm right! I'm right!"
And these Europeans speak for all?
I think I would rather believe the results of the elections than the biases they hold. I don't know why they feel the need to argue the point, it is crystal clear the coalition she now has is much more conservative in nature - and that is what the people voted for.
The bottom line; Germans are sick and tired of big spending, big taxing policies of the Socialist Democrats - that is undeniable.
What? But Europe is NOT a country - are you aware of that? These figures are just the GDP of the Euro area, not of a single country. Europe is an economically wealthy area but is still a bunch of little countries squabbling over common policy. Don't you think it is embarrasing that we have that much wealth and yet the vast majority of EU countries couldn't muster enough military might to challenge the presidential motorcade??
27 countries to 1 and the GDP is virtually identical. 200 million more in the EU than the US. I think there is not doubt who is stronger economically.
Considering you are comparing 27 countries to one and have 200 million MORE people in your collective (sounds like a part of the Borg), I'd say, without a doubt, the US is by far the stronger of the two.
3/4's of a Trillion is virtually chump change nowadays.
The point really about your misleading figures; you could have easily put in the ones for 2009, but I can see why you'd want to put up the ones for 2008.
The EU's GDP has shrunk by almost 17% - Wow, that's quite a bit, wouldn't you say?

Yeah.
Chump change that your lot could do with
Lets be crystal here : your xenophobic waffling has been exposed for the crap that it is.
Waffling on about politics and economics - YOU HAVEN'T A CLUE.
The EU is a trading entity that far outstrips your economy.
When the EU finally delivers full economic unity and intergration, the disparity will only increase as the EU powers ahead of the rest of the world.
In terms of posting the 2009 numbers : since it is still September 2009 there is not much point in posting values for this year.
But as you appear to insist - I have no difficulty displaying the fact that the EU once again outstrips the USA in terms of wealth generation.
That was 2008, things are a bit different this year, aren't they?
In fact...the EU seems to be going backwards, losing almost 17% of GDP so far this year. That's a huge number, that puts them neck in neck right alongside the US. Of course, the comparison really isn't a valid one, considering it's 27 nations to 1 and the EU has 200 million more people. How pathetic.
Oh, so now you want to compare a state in the US to a country of the EU.
That right there is indicative of just how weak your argument is. 27-1.

So, if the US is holding its GDP to the extent you suggest then Obama must be doing a pretty good job
