Lookig at the forwth and the unemployemnt figures yeaterday erueope is not out of recessio at all. In fact tehy are still havign alot of difficlties;more so than the US even.In fact as one frnch economist for the governamnt said we would take 10% unemloyemnt has a normal and 30% in those under 30 also.Thier per centage of GDP spent on governamnt is too high whcih is why they did not institute the same per centage as stinulus of GDP that the US id and china.

Which due to non-existiant birth rates among your indigenous people, a history and culture that will soon be erased from relevancy (sadly).
Europe may be cozy, but it's far from dynamic or a force in the world. |

Europe exits under the umbrella of protection provided by the US. We dont mind though with the Military Industrial Complex as the foundation of our economy we prosper by supplying the rest of the world with modern weapons.

I admire your optimism but finding a 20 dollar bill on the sidewalk will not pay off your debt. |

yep, they are being fed green shoots for dinner over there as well:
Analysts said the outlook remained patchy, particularly because unemployment was still climbing, wages were stagnant and consumption and lending were being propped up by government programs that would not be renewed indefinitely.
“Europe is still very dependent on lenient fiscal and monetary policy,” said Helge J. Pedersen, chief economist at Nordea in Copenhagen, “so I fear a bit for what happens when all these programs are phased out in coming months.”
not to mention that there is in-fighting in europe over cap and trade

not everyone wants to pay a shiny new tax to "help" emerging markets. |

More like the Napoleon complex.
The have to depend and rely on a conglomeration of 27 countries for their collective well-being. Somebody in Belgium can't wipe their a** without permission from France. No sense at all of individualism or self reliance.
Really quite humiliating. |

They never had a deep recession. Like Germany reported job growth already months ago. Our numbers are still bad and continue to get worse.
Can't compare it.
