The Europeans I see on the beach here in S.E. Asia aren't complaining.  Living like kings they are with fat wallets and 8 week vacations.  They laugh at third-world America.

Ever consider that maybe they are woefully ignorant and over-confident?

No.  They've consistently had a better lifestyle for decades now. And they're  realistic - they don't expect the Euro to just continually get stronger.  But they're enjoying it while it lasts, and no doubt their vacations will always be a saner couple of months compared to America's absurdly short ones.

They are living good because we rebuilt their countries.

No, thats ancient history.  They're living well because of their own policies.

Ancient history I think not. It was only 50 years ago!
