Growth non-existent? Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this would suggest otherwise... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_European_Union#...

In the same time period, US GDP rose from $49,979 to $51,486 [1]. But it shows the same drop as the EU figures: 2014 was the first year that GDP was higher than 2007 (the same in 2015 for the EU). Maybe there is a common factor that could explain the slump in both the US and EU GDP figures since roughly 2008? Or did EU policymaking also cause the US GDP to go down?
