Steve, CJ doesn't think Europe's double-digit employment is better than America's single-digit employment. But if he were unemployed, he would much rather live in Europe than America. It's too bad CJ won't connect the dots ... ;-) Its you that needs to connect the dots......the ones you refuse to see.

Doesn't surprise me, I learned this week that affirmative action based upon skin color isn't based upon skin color. Add that to the list that record snowfalls are proof of global warming because RFK Jr said no snowfall is proof of global warming. Libshit is getting harder these days, they can't even explain it.

"It's too bad CJ won't connect the dots ... " I know how to connect dots. But, I am also aware that dots on two different pages shouldn't be connected. In general, unemployment in Europe tends to be higher than in the US. But there is no reason to believe that it is related to benefits except for wingnut fantasies. For one, the level of benefits and the unemployment rate between countries do not correlate. There are many more reasons that make more sense, like the difficulty in starting small businesses. But, you are too caught up in wingnut mythology to accept this. Like, for example, unemployment in the US has been worse than Europe as a whole recently. Despite having a much lower rate of benefits.
