@paulgibsonarts SF has massive poverty, extremely high crime rates - and a totally bankrupt state government.

I am reading Steven's book now. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how America can get back on track. The US media coverage of Europe is so ill informed that most Americans get only a biased and distorted view of how European social democracies work.

@mvonkorff you are absolutely correct to state how the American media is totally biased on Europe.

Excellent review of the EU and its benefits to the world. The European Union is unique in human history. Its not perfect, but it is something that is a "work in progress".

@EuropeanUnionRules It's been in progress for 2500 years. America has been evolving for about 250.
