Adebayo Omo-Dare : "Neither am I ignorant about the effects of the US' 20+ trillion deficit on the US economy -."
Yeah?
Listen. I have lived in Europe for over 10 years, before moving to the United States. One thing I know, America is like over a thousand times more welcoming to immigrants by far than Europe will ever be! Period.
Evety single day we hear about yet more vicious anti-semitic attacks against Jews in Europe.We all stil remember that it was these same Europeans who sluaghtetered to the tune of 6 million Jews in cold blood in Hitler's gas chambers , while the rest of Europe either did nothing about it , or watched in admiration .
It took the great, kind and compassionate America to once again come and save Europe's butt at great expense in lives and money to Americans.
You want to talk economics?America had a GDP growth of an awesome, sizzling 8.2 % in the third quarter of last year, the best growth rate in 20 years!
Europe? You guys are crawling along along like old women, with a measly growth rate of less than 0.5%.!
America is the growth engine of the world.
That trade deficit you are smirking about is what is keepoing Europe from going into a recession.
You guys outta thank God every morning for America!
As for economic disparities, I'd take that in America over that in Europe any day.
Here in America in most states (certainly in New York State) is you are poor the goverment takes care of all your health insurance. Anfd its not like in Britain where you have to wait for like 3 years or more (and end up dead anyway) for ordinary routine medical surgery.
Whats the use if having so-called free NHS, when people die all the time in NHS waiting lists foir their turn?
Don't even go there pal!
