Because the US dollar is declining in value?

Our Euro is a lot stronger than the US dollar.


Which beggars another thought.
With the US dollar being so devalued - you'd think that this would make US goods and services more attractive, cause they're cheap.
But yet the US trade deficit continues to grow.

It seems it matter since Obama is trying to implement all things that are or have been done in Europe and Europeans are getting sick off!

I would never go to the States for surgery. Even if I had lots of money. We have enought good doctors here.
Oh, Obama would not be part of the SPD or the Left Party in Germany.

Oh, how many countries are in Europe? So, you will compare a whole continent to one country?

Even at that ratio - there is no comparison to the US economic strength and Europe.
Then what do you think about the rise of the Left Party??? They started a couple of years ago and in some states are already the 2nd biggest party.
What do you think about this?

1.It doesn't.

2.Why are you asking me, about how many countries are in Europe, you claimed that you were familiar with Europe?

For the record there are 27 countries in the European Union.

3.You're right there is no comparison between the EU and US in terms of economic strength.
We're far stronger than you !

Even as a collective, not even close to the US economy.

Imagine that, 27 against 1 as a comparison. How weak and pathetic a comparison is that? Even so, we still win, hands down.

Looks like The Times also disputes your version of reality

German chancellor Angela Merkel signalled on Monday that she would resist pressure for radical reforms from her likely new coalition partners, the pro-business Free Democrats, and would stick to a path of gradual change.

In Sunday’s election voters gave Ms Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and the FDP a majority in parliament, delivering Germany’s first centre-right government in 11 years.

Truth hurts. Although I was not the clueless kid to make the comparison.

Exactly.

US economic GDP is, err, err, $14trillion.

You're right you're not even close

Got a link?

What overwhelming numbers. 27 countries to 1.

There is a reason why the US is leader of the free world.

I don't know.....I'm coming up with some different numbers....hmmmmm. - Where's your link? I'm sure you'll understand my need for some other corroboration than just your word?
