Again, literally all of it are just projections. Eurozone quietly accepts non-double-digit growth YoY in exchange for fairly balanced life style. If you guys don’t want that, that’s up to you. Until this point, all the previous governments in charge made their decisions on behalf of Americans. Retroactively blaming others is just… weird? Go figure out a government or method that’s best for you, since everyone writes their own destinies. At the end of the day, everyone will adapt, change and survive. To the better or worse. Pointing at others’ houses’ messiness while yours is extremely far from being clean is just not nice.

You might be surprised how much American "double digit growth" is just the upper class erasing the middle class.

Fair. I just really dislike when someone actively starts bullying others and talking down on them. Especially when the life in their own state is just, objectively, by most metrics, is worse.

Balanced poverty lol. And it isn't "accepted", the EU is having a meltdown about how they're becoming less and less competitive vs EU. No politicians has ever said "yep, all the policies we support are the reason you're falling behind, and that's a good thing!"

(And I'm British, so this isn't some pro American rant)

The UK's pathetic growth, bad under the previous government, now even worse under a new leftist government that is bringing in continental style employment regulations etc, is the main topic of national debate right now
