First, let's look at the numbers:

• US GDP: $25.5 trillion
• EU GDP: $16.6 trillion

But in 2008, they were nearly equal.

What the hell happened over the past 16 years?

Despite all our problems, we offer much more opportunity than Europe.

Our company used to to do some business in Europe in the chemical sector, they over regulated that industry to the point it was not worth doing business there any more. Anyone could see it from a million miles away yet they kept squeezing their industrial companies with regulations. It makes one wonder if this was planned by someone else to keep the Euros from buying too much energy from Russia? If the Euro's shut down industries it means less support of Russia ? Anyway, I'm just a peasant in that big world and don't really understand the big picture economics behind all of that

We offer the opportunity to succeed and to fail. We have the freedom to create and be rewarded for that. At least for now.

The obvious answer is:

They put too many women in charge of the important stuff.....

To be fair, they did lose the UK's GDP in the last 16 years.

How much was that worth?

How much regulation is going to help make our food healthy? How much is this going to cost companies and, more importantly, consumers?

Truth from the responses

The USA innovates
China replicates
The EU legislates
