If you look at most of Europe their growth is stunted by quite a lot more than the U.S. .

Surely you must be referring to girth growth?

I compiled a list of gross domestic product (real) growth rate of 214 countries in the world for you. It is a useful measure of economic development. See if you can find the United States.

If you look at GDP (real) per capita growth rate, the United States ranks better: 106th place out of the 171 countries listed.



What was that you said about stunted growth in "most of Europe"? Let's look at some graphs of currency exchange rates over the past three to five years.[2] European countries versus the United States, of course:

SEK (Swedish Krona) per USD:



GBP per USD:



EUR (Euro) per USD:



CHF (Swiss Franc) per USD:



DKK (Danish Krona) per USD:



Notice a trend? If not, let me spell it out for you:

You fail.
