The countries Americans worry about competing with are India, China, and the Pacific Rim. None are in Europe. Why, because Europeans are stupid or uneducated? Obviously not, but they have gotten fat and lazy, have forgotten how to compete on a global scale. France is the worse, taking the idea of worker's rights to a ridiculous extreme so that strikes shutting down important services usually garners a sympathetic reaction from the public.
In America, some industries (autos and the airlines, to name two) have gone down that path of deluxe benefit packages and fat pension plans for retirees and they're now in deep trouble. Most people working in those industries are worried about their jobs and that's a model for the rest of us to avoid.
