The success of the American system of running society being more successful than the European model does not show that the Europeans were wrong, but that the Europeans were too early with the gibs handed out.

As America becomes richer the numbers of free gibs provided to the populace increase year on year.

The primary difference between the gibs given by the government in America and those given by the Europeans to their citizens is that the American would give a free gib to the people at x per capita income, meanwhile the European will give that same free gib to the people at 1/2 X per capita value.

In this manner the European flow of investment rises forth slower than the American model, and thus giving it too early made it difficult for the European model to be able to handle the stresses of random crisis events.

Americans ended up becoming adaptable capable of moving from job to job. Meanwhile Europeans ended up being stuck in place demanding of the government more than it could legitimately afford to give while still running a functional state that grows prosperous.

The European model gave too many freebies too early and now barely stays above the red. Meanwhile the US gives every freebie exactly when its rich enough to give it as a cheap additional expense upon the people.

The greatest lessons that the rest of the world can learn from America over Europe is the correct ratio of per capita income to net value of individual gibs ratio.

America gives just enough to make the people want to keep pushing themselves forward while still having enough to survive even if everything fails.

Europe gives enough for people to comfortably waste away if they felt like it.

The US clearly has a better system of government expenditure towards the local populace in terms of handouts.
