Doesm't disagree with me. It shows thje EU's GDP as about 10% less
than the USA's, which difference will be made up next year when 10
new countries join.

Not really. The additional countries all have economies that are pretty
much in the basket right now, and adding a bunch of new poor people
won't make much difference,

It'll make about 10% of difference. If you disagree, come up with
exact figures to refute this.

Right after you come up with the ones that support it...

....and even if they *did* manage to come up with that 10% extra, they'd
only barely match *this* year's numbers, never mind the growth we're
seeing in the US (that's not happening in the EU, which might see a
massive 0.5% growth instead of your blindingly optimistic 3%).
