STUART VARNEY: The President says we must spend $5 trillion to stop America's decline.
He says, "Other countries are speeding up and America is falling behind."
Not true. Our economy is not falling behind. Our technology is not falling behind. But we will really fall behind if he gets his $5 trillion.
Bernie Sanders runs this show. He's often said that his model is Europe. But it’s Europe that’s been "falling behind" for decades.

In America, more people get out of bed and go to work every day than anywhere in Europe. That’s because workers over there have plenty of incentives to stay home.
Unemployment is much higher in Europe because, with heavy taxes, it's expensive to hire people, and of course, in a worker's paradise, it’s very difficult to fire people. This is why America has been growing faster than sluggish Europe for years!
Has Europe produced an Amazon, an Apple, a Google, a Facebook, a Microsoft? A Tesla? No. And that’s what happens when you discourage work and demonize wealth. Silicon Valley is full of Europeans eager to join dynamic, innovative America.
We are not falling behind. We're still powering ahead. But we will be behind, if the President and Bernie, and AOC and Senator Warren, get their $5 trillion!
