Reply #16: I know several that have left and many who own land and plan to leave [View All]

I even have a friend who was a rabid Republican and during the Clinton years argued with me constantly. Her husband is Swiss. Because of Bush, they plan to leave the U.S. and relocate to Switzerland.

Other countries that my friends have moved to or have land and/or a house and plan to leave the U.S. are New Zealand, the U.K., several to Costa Rico, several to Panama, a couple to Canada, one (a highly regarded researcher) to Taiwan ... I can't think where else.

What the main stream media has not bothered to report is that we have a real brain drain going on in this country and we are attracting fewer international students and scientists.

This is truly the New American Century, a century of our decline.
