Americas growth historically has been fueled mostly by investment, education, productivity, innovation and immigration. The one thing that doesnt seem to have anything to do with Americas growth rate is a brutal work schedule. – Fareed Zakaria

This means you have more unemployed people that then draw unemployment benefits and dont pay taxes. – Fareed Zakaria
