You wouldn't like it there, far too liberal for your POV. I know, I was born there and go back often.

This is bull. Instead, people are moving here so that they can reep the benefits of Obama's health care plan, which takes effect 2014.

I am going to be flown out to the University of Tubingen to tour and interview for the Postdoc in question. I have been reassured that work permits will not be a problem. Plus I have some immigration people who are very good friends. My mother's best friends worked for the Israeli embassy in Budapest. I'm hopeful that I'm good to go.

You know a different set of people than I do over there.

I believe Peter Schiff's company EuroPac is going to be hiring in Costa Rica and other tax havens. If you're into finance and want to have a super boss, you should look into it.

He said relocate, not migrate. If his wife is a German citizen it would make relocation easier.

I gather you haven't been outside the US and travelled to a few countries where the American expat numbers are growing. Americans happen to be a preference in many foreign countries.

Um...you do realize that the rest of the developed world has had far more comprehensive healthcare than that for a very long time, right?

What these people fail to realize is that the ENTIRE WORLD's economy is going to crash. There won't be opportunity or jobs ANYWHERE!
