So if the EU is a failure then the US is also a failure?

The United States had a debt-to-GDP ratio of 104.17% in the year 2015 and 105.4% in 2017, according to the U.S. Bureau of Public Debt

Here is something I wrote back in 2013

When the US was doing well economically - and there was a huge rise in the number of the middle class - was in the period from the end of WWII to the rise of neoliberal ideas. During those periods the top tax rate was much higher (94% in 1945, down to around 70% in 1970) and the national debt was reduced from the war time high of 117% of GDP to a reasonable 32.5% in 81.

But in the thirty odd years of neoliberal ideas there was a huge increase in the wealth of a few while the real term incomes of those below have either stagnated or fell. While the policies pursued have also caused a ballooning of the national debt and brought about a social and political system where wealth have great (and in my opinion too much) power and influence.

Fall in top rate tax
1945 - 94%
1970 – 70%
1982 - 50%
1990 - 28%
2010 – 33%

Rise in top levels of pay
In the 1950’s CEO pay was 25-50 times that of an average worker that has risen to 300-500 times by 2007.
A bigger gap than any other developed nation.

Trade deficit
1960 – Trade surplus of 3.5 billion
2008 – Trade deficit of 690 billion
(The last time the US posted a trade surplus was in 1975)

Decline in manufacturing
1965 - Manufacturing accounted for 53% of the US’s economy.
2004 – It accounted for 9%
The Economist (10/1/2005) stated: “For the first time since the industrial revolution, fewer than 10% of American workers are now employed in manufacturing.”

 

I think that makes you 1/4 a smug ****, 1/4 an alcoholic

 

Ok, but lets not get sidetracked

Lets not forget Macron just compared Brexit to the Holocaust

"Never, since the Second World War, has Europe been as essential. Yet never has Europe been in so much danger"

 

Maybe you all could just revoke the citizenship of everyone you disagree with

 

To some I am no doubt a **** - but as for alc - I very rarely touch the stuff.

 

You must be so bored.

 

It was a backhanded joke aimed at the Irish, not you

 

Well, thats what he said. never has Europe been in so much danger since....

 

No problem.

What the fuck are you going on about?

 

Go on, finish the quote.

 

Europe has never been in so much danger since half a Maginot line

 

McFuddy

LOL

Oh I think the kid from Mudgeeraba is back again and he still seems to have the same problem and there was I hoping the ointment would work

 

Van

Have you got a point to make or has you intellectual contributions peaked?

 

Last weekend Macron was on a ski vacation in Africa, while watching his country burn on tv. Paris saw the worst riots yet since this uprising started. And he was at some ski resort. Hilarious.
