No, let me put it in some perspective.
There are some dudes in a lake of shit. The first one is almost gone as you can only see his hair - this is UK. Then the other one has his eye balls above the level of shit - this is Germany.
Then the next few have a chance to take a breath with their noses - France, Austria, Benelux, Italy. There are some other guys I am not fully aware if they are closer to Germany or to France (Spain. Portugal, Greece) but there is bunch of guys that are standing in this shit at least with their heads or shoulders above - Eastern Europeans.
This is current state of Europe.
As for US I understand that Dollar is still the clenest shirt in dirty laundry but in this picture this is the guy that is sunk down in shit to his torso and is laughing at the rest.
