The combined European economy is larger than that of the USA.

Not only that but European consumers are wealthier on average than consumers in the USA
As for everything being invented in America - that is bullshit! Most of your inventions came out of Nazi Germany! And computers came from Europe - Britain to be precise - colossus being the first programmable turing architecture computer ever, build to crack the german enigma code. Every mainstream computer since then has built upon the principles it established thanks to Alan Turing a (British) European!
So blow that out your arse you ignorant, arrogant American fuckwit!
Oh and one more barb for you - unless you are a pure-blood native American indian your roots go back to somewhere other than the USA - in your case most likely to Europe! North America and the USA would be nothing without Europe - literally!
Wow, interesting graphs - China's GDP surpassing the US now?!???? We're no longer #1!!???!!!???
European household consumption spending go up like batshit crazy during the 2000 decade?!!!! Hmmm! Europeans must've gotten bored with the 2-hour lunch breaks and wanted something to do with their money. Things cost a lot more in Europe anyway..
But it doesn't mean Europeans are wealthier on average than the US guy. Otherwise, 2x population would roughly translate to 2x GDP.
