Here is a rather more objective comparison of the United States

the current "free enterprise friendly" administration is heading.

The American socialists (read that both democrats and republicans with
the republican being slightly less socialistic in their policies) are
the cause of that with new regulations, taxes, controls, etc... They
have hardly left the economy alone. The only way a free market works
is if you leave it alone. The minute you start trying to regulate it
you get the graph you shared.

Here is the same graph expanded to include the Democrat administration
from 20 January 1993. <http://tinyurl.com/2hpj8x>. Note the drastic
decline when the "slightly less socialistic" Republican administration
took over in 2001.

You said that the Euro was the currency of "socialist leaning ones
like many found in Europe" and you agree that it is gaining value
against the U.S. dollar. Are you now arguing that the Republican
administration is more socialist than most Europeans?
