Oh come now. Own your problems and stop reflecting for a change. Where's Zeebra? Wasn't it America thyat was doomed to the depths of failure? The dollar is bouncing and we are on the upswing. It's a roller coaster ride for now, but eventually our employment numbers will return as our economy improves. America will be finenot only because we are one government and we started fixing earlier than you, but because our of re-defining and persevering culture will ensure it. Wall Street, banks, and even the Defense Industry is being dealt with. Like all internal crisis' America learns and emerges. We are not without imperfections. But the difference is that we are better and stronger for our crisis'.
Europe, however, continues to be spiraling out of control and even a return to normal employment numbers will be too high. Your immigration issues are being met with anti-religious laws that further ignite problems. The great EU is proving that it merely serves to caulk over the cracks of the tribes as they bicker and struggle to find solutions. When America was "bailing out" our banks and car industries, European countries were arguing over what even to do. The longer it bickers of Greece, the longer the international economy is going to take to improve. America has the benefit of being one government made up of like minded people (a mixture of global tribes). The EU does not have this benefit. It's return to normalization will be far tougher than America's.
Although, I am confused on whether or not I should be surprised that it was France that threatened to leave the EU and not Germany. Germany seems to be the strongest in terms of economy so they stand to lose the least by leaving the illusion of strength. But France has a history of turning its back and leaving oranizations that are meant to protect European interests, doesn't it? Although, Germany has had a way of kicking its neighbors in the teeth.
In the end, Europe will figure it out one way or another. Of course, if history is a teacher, Europe doesn't have a good track record for solving its own problems. Europe always seems to drag America in. After dealing with our own, we always seem to have to help you deal with yours. Hell, we even ran to Asia's aid over economic problems in 1998. After dealing with our economic issues, will we really have to help you with Greece, Spain, and others to come? America benefits from a healthy Europe (not so much strong). But take this opportunity to prove that you can do for yourself for a change. Otherwise, America's burden continues doesn't it?
