We were sipping our coffee yesterday morning and reading the Wall Street Journal (after getting the Hotline out the door), and this headline caught our eye:
That headline suggests Europe is on the rebound. But the unexpected “pickup in growth” was from a microscopic 0.2% to a tiny 0.4%. Amazingly, for the past three years since Covid ended Europe’s annual growth rate has been BELOW an anemic 1.5%.
The fledgling U.S. economy looks like a Mario Andretti race car compared to that performance.
The left wants America to emulate European welfare-state socialism. We can’t figure out why.
