Oh god, US bigotry and puritanism is the worst I ever encountered. I wonder how many jobs could have been created with a more relaxed and less religious-fascist look on life.
I'd say you need to come out and visit Vermont and it's beer scene. You might never leave ;)
Only when you (as a country) can claim "We did everything in our power to help innovators and businessmen to create jobs" you're allowed to whine.
And while we Europeans have our own share of unemployment issues, we at least do not have massive issues with illegal and legal immigration as the US have.
Of course, the actual numbers of people trying to enter the US per year are not the same number as people already in the US, but it's pretty obvious that the numbers will be far higher than those of France and Greece, probably Spain, thus proving my point.
