umm brazil's economy is doing much better than the usa, I believe. To such a point that the president made comments about the blue eyed people.
There are individual countries that maybe comparable to European countries but when you look at the continent as a whole it is a different story. In the best of times on the continents of Asia, Africa, and S. America are still not as good as the bad times on Europe. People in America are complaining about the economy. But we still aren't facing famine, electrical shortages, civil war, 50-60% unemployment, etc which are all common problems on those other continents. But enough this, we have gotten way off topic.
