Also worth noting....

our current unemployment rate is like... normal for most of Europe.

France Unemployment rate is 9.5% and really that's not exceptionally high for France.

You've really gotta ask yourself something...

Why did the US have so much lower unemployment then Europe.

It's either

A) The US system is superior. In which case, changing it to be more Europeon like the occupy Wallstreet people want WON'T help. (Though actually, it's not even Europeon like, a lot of people are against the Vockler rule being put into place soley because Europe didn't follow suit like they promised giving their banks a HUGE advantage.)

B) The US system isn't superior and is just like eveyrone else. In which case, you shouldn't be mad at this unemployment because it's NORMAL and the US was still benefiting from being an economic juggernaut largely due to the effects of World War 2 increase in foreign demand and giant decrease in the production capabilities of Europe.
