And frankly, I think I got out just in time. The last 16 months haven't been a breeze, but it pales in comparison to how screwn I would be if I hadn't left.

1. I can understand not wanting to live in America

But what would have happened if you had stayed?

2. For starters, my U.S. credit is destroyed

After a bankruptcy and a foreclosure, brought on my a long story rife with circumstances outside my control, I doubt I could even get a job down there.

The other stuff, suffice it to say that due to my and the s.o.'s health, and the ever-diminishing medical benefits we used to get, also not a happening thing.

Looking at the health care debate on KO, I fear that Obama may not be able to fix the U.S. It scares the sh*t out of me. :scared:
