Then why is the economy of the USA such a mess compared to the one from Belgium?

One of the requirements to get this unemployment check is that you have to search for a job otherwise they'll cut you of. A lot of people that can't work anymore because of some unforeseen circumstances benefit from this system.

You are very young, that's why u lack perspective. You shouldn't be involved in this discussion with your lack of knowledge on the subject.

Belgium is infamous even in social-democratic Sweden for being an even more socialist ruled country than us, having a messed up and rotten economy for decades, with a huge state budget deficit and government debt (~80% of GDP) and chronical mass unemployment.

USA on the other hand is going through a temporary economical Crysis after showing record growth for over a decade. The US economy will recover quickly because it's a dynamic and fundamentally very strong economy.

Lol, the debt from the US is ENORMOUS. We don't have a rotten economy. Congo has a rotten ecnomy if you really want to name a country with a rotten economy. If Belgium had such a rotten economy then why would it be in the top 10(or 20 now) countries to live in?

Ps: I've studied Economy(main course in case you don't know how our schools work here) in High school. Sure, I found it boring, but I do have some knowledge about economy.
