All them flocking to Norway sounds just like the California exodus when housing sunk here in the US.

In all these foreign stories about the crisis..there is a recurring theme that all citizens seem to be saying.

From the article:

"I'm so angry about this government," Bjoernsdottir said.

I was listening to Schiff's Wall St. Unspun and he spoke about how first generation [insert nationality here]-Americans were returning home permanently. No real immigration problems as their home country had provisions for it or they were somehow sponsored by family. That brain drain will definitely hurt us, although it will help people like me in niche technical fields.

I do not see a rush to return to Mexico, Guatamala or India.

Did any of you conservatives ever think that returning to a country with full nationalized health care makes sense for many unable to get insurance in the good old USA?

We've been headed in this direction ever since we decided to ignore Eisenhower's warning about undue influence of the Military-Industrial Complex, today's situation stems directly from that 'eyes closed' attitude.

Easy to understand.... Where would you go from the US that's any better (and don't say Denmark) that you have even half the chance's we have here?
