How could the US possibly catch up when over the past decade, or so, the EU has been having greater growth than the US, so the gap is widening.

When Turkey eventually gets around to entering the EU, we will have a huge economic boost as well.

 

 LOL! Because Turkey is such an economic powerhouse?

 

 No but it will be. It has a huge population growth and an annual economic growth of 7%

Yes but those 7% ain't much in absolute numbers since we're talking about a piss poor country.

No, but with a large population and tonnes of resources it can be.

It's predicted to equal Italy's economy by 2050.

 

 You realize that's more than four decades from now? You'll be sitting in a weelchair by then in a home for the elderly.
