As an European (living in one of the most socialist, thus poorer, countries of Europe, Portugal), I look to the US as the ultimate escape plan if things get worse. However, I feel strange winds blowing at that side of the Atlantic. I fear you become Europe 2.0. Maybe people like me will go to Switzerland instead. On the other hand, I feel a funny urge to migrate to the US and help fight that trend. At least there you have voices that speak out against it. Here nobody cares. People are zombies, slowly walking towards misery.
