Come on Arm, reality check time. Let's not go off the deep end.
As Manny said, and living in South Texas, I can verify, people are literally killing themselves to get in the US.
Did you know that for foreign doctors, if they want to practise here, they must be completely retrained. So if a fully qualified Indian neurosurgeon wants to work here, he must repeat 7 years of residency and THEN must somehow convince the US government that he is exceptional and should be allowed to practice in the US.
Imagine going to Canada and they ask you to repeat k-6 grades. That is called a major disincentive. Guess what, they are coming in droves to do this.
We still have a decent country, perhaps you need to travel the world, as I have, to appreciate what you've got.
Sounds to me like an attitude adjustment would do your whole world-view a great benefit.
And spinningfreemanny, your so full of shit. Theres no economic growth. Just because a few hundred thousand Mcjobs are appearing doesnt mean economic growth. What about all the millions of high-tech, high paying jobs that are lost? Lost and arent coming back but are going straight to India. Progress my ass.
And foreign doctors having to be retrained once they get here, maybe having some extra training by a year or 2 but repeating med school again sounds like bullshit to me.
And no we got a shitty country. All our so-called freedoms(which the government and corporations are working hard to take away and have won) we can get in any other developed country in the world, plus more.
And sure ill go to other countries. B) Some time this year or later hopefully ill go to Iran and see how the Persians are.The Iranian youth is starting to like heavy metal you know.
