I live in Europe, Germany, for many years now. I see no decline. Sure, the economy might be a bit slow at the moment, but things like that happen to economies. And the European economy IS strong. Its just growing slowly at present. Europe is undergoing a lot of structural changes. Who can blame em? Germany in particular has to build up East Germany. For those that do not remember. It has only been a few years since they reunited with what had become a communist economy pit. It's a big challenge. All of Europe is...
For its current problems, some blame the social approach. I praise it. Its merrits are apparent. Social justice, for one. Personal freedom. You don't see poverty here like you find it in the US. You don't see people without teeth. General health care. High living standards. Very low crime. Accessible education to everyone. Decline? Where?

Don't see it. Lovin' it...
God save Europe!
