As of Google this morning -- US unemployment (not sorting by long-term and

Austria unemployment
3.8
Considering Europe, Inc, is also in an economic downturn, 3.8% is terrific.
I believe above 3.8% is our US average during the best of times.
But our 3.8% is made up mostly of chronically unemployable that don't
work, don't pay dues, but do get their entitlements. Not an option in Austria.
It's not a health care bill as much as a tax bill, and whether it's funded
by newly printed money (DEBT), or taxes, the potential is to cripple the
economy for decades.
