Move Forward huh? We'll see how well that works out. Europe, the canary in the coal mine, isn't doing too well with their liberal forward policies in place.
Ridiculous comment once again!
Europe (as individual countries) have had social policies in place for over 65 years, and has done EXTREMELY well, in fact, their infrastructure is FAR superior to that of the US, EVEN THE CENTURIES OLD pieces of architectural art. . .bridges, even 250 years old bridges, do not fall down. The huge tides in the Nederlands do not create disasters. . .and have even helped to increase the usable land mass of the Nederlands. The art and the heritage of the rich history is cared for and a a source of great pride. Crime is lower, creation of private enterprise is higher or even with the US, the health care is superior in terms of higher life expectancy and lower infant death, and cases of deadly virus contamination during hospitalization is MUCH lower than in the US. . .all that for a price tag that is about 1/3 of American private health care. And education achievements in Europe (all of Europe, every country in Europe) is MUCH higher than ours. . .all that in spite (or maybe BECAUSE ) of 65 years of intelligent and caring social policies that include protective labor laws and a collaboration between the government and private enterprises.
Europe is experiencing problems integrating the "poor" European nations with the more wealthy one. . .We, in the US have the same issue. . .but we close our eyes to it. In fact, "SOME" of us are arrogant enough to believe that the poor States in the Union could do much better without the SUPPORT of the RICH STATES!
The main problem Europe faces (which actually began with the US RECESSION and the fact that US BANKS sold sub prime mortgages and rabbid derivatives that THEY KNEW were bad - - not unlike what they did to our own investors. . .only more!), and continued because of the "growing pains" of fully integrating new EU participants, with a much lower GDP per capita, and a much less stable currency, into the EURO.

In fact, if you look at the table above, you will notice that, since 2000, Europe's GDP is only slightly smaller than the US. . .and that in 2020, it is projected that Europe GDP will be GREATER than the US and will remain higher t0 2050. In fact, in 2010, the GDP of Italy ALONE was the same as CHINA.
Maybe you should stop discussing any economics subjects (which are obviously not your forte) until you spend some time learning the basics of economics instead of just reading or listening to CRAP!
You would do yourself a favor, as you may not look and sound quite so retarded!
