Your not alone. We are in the first stages of moving out of the country too. We are not heading south though...and definitely not north...NO offense to canadians but it's just too damn cold up there. I'm am excited and a little scared at the same time. I'm scared not for myself but for my little girls (ages 4/2).
I have this gut feeling that things are going to get bad here. The naysayers that think that they can stay and "fix" the problems are the ones living in lala land. The problems are really beyond fixing and if you would just look at and research any financial/economist blogs or newsletters you'd see that things are really not looking good. People of means (even if they are little) are transferring thier money elsewhere or turning it over for metals.
I don't think the majority of people have a clue what's going on..they're so busy in their everyday lives and thinking up their next clever post to facebook.
I not only want to move because the country is in a downward spiral but because i'm ready for a change. I'm sick to death of the materialism, consumerism, the govt waste..blah...blah...blah...we just want an easier life free from the junk/trash america has become.
How exactly are you going to fix america? Sorry but it can't and won't happen..unless you have the majority of people behind you...and you should already know that it's NOT EVER going to happen! Good Luck though.

Canada is a very beautiful country no doubt, I have family that have lived there and enjoyed dual citizenship. But lets not lie about that "free" healthcare as it's not all it's cracked up to be if you need something major.
Now, if our own troops turn on us (no, not Kent State level), it's time to hit the road, but until then, I think I'll ride this one out.

Yes you just keep thinking that. The more that believe such tripe, the more that stay away.
As someone on disability I have to say that it takes all of a half hour for me to get a cat scan or M.R.I. and it doesn't cost me a cent.
Can you say the same??????????

Go ahead turn tail and run, the rest of us will stay here and finish fixing the broken system. You people make me laugh. Seems everyone these days is ready to just up and run from their problems, sure United States has some big time issues right now, but nothing worth running away to another country where your just gonna find a different set of problems facing you. It's that mentality thats killing our country in my opinion.

Well, I believe you shouldn't draw parallels between the Nazi Germany and the U.S., because the Nazi Germany was a very prosperous country between 1933-1939 (Before the war). Everyone had jobs. Banks didn't have any true power. Corporations was ruled by that Government. Here you can see the opposite. No one has jobs. Banks and corporations rules everything.
The Nazi Germany, regardless what they did in WW2 (I'm speaking before the war), after the first financial crisis it was a really-really prosperous country. It was capable to live without any imports, while their wealth and money came from the exports of German stuffs what they created back at home. The U.S. is now at the edge of bankruptcy after the financial crisis and depends on imports (Mostly oil import).edit on 15-12-2010 by Sentinel412 because: (no reason given)

I think you are underestimating how deep the pile of $%#@ America is in and just how corrupt it is... if sites like this exist with America being 98% of the topics... theres a serious problem.
Actually no, I don't underestimate it. But we were in a greater #. Communism rings any bell? Now imagine that, with the strong support of Socialist NeoLiberals. Now we had that one in the last eight years. Those are worse then your present Government ever was. If I should fit the name "Destroyer of Worlds" to any Government branch, that would be Communist Socialist NeoLiberals (Each of them are dangerous alone, yet we had all three together.). Trust me, I know what about I'm talking. And if you believe you know what corruption is, you would just gaze on what these guys did. Your U.S. Government is nowhere comparing to these guys (Whose slowly goes to jail one by one. ).
And thanks. We've made a difference, because we wanted to make a true difference. But if we was capable to do that, you, in the U.S. can do it too.edit on 15-12-2010 by Sentinel412 because: (no reason given)

To those of you that want to run:
1. Where will you go? The controlling parties have taken over every part of this world. The Grass may be browner than you think other places.
2. So When the American people decide to stand up to these corrupt people and governments, and finally give the country back to the people, will you then decide to come back and just take advantage of the freedoms you have not earned? (if you run, don't expect to be welcomed back)
3. Don't be afraid, the spirit of America will prevail in the end. They don't call us the sleeping giant for no reason.
4. I hold no respect for those who want to run, as you are turning your back on fellow Americans.
RUN for all I care, but do not expect me to accept you as an American.
You are a slave to fear.
I will not let the corruption win, I will not die a slave.
Who will be there to help you when the place you go is taken over and you are enslaved?

I like that you love your country so much but i think you better wake up. even if you were to over throw your gov' succesfully ...what about all the other countrys problems... debts... problems with other countrys... you think you and the people can change all that?... hell no. Damage is already done dude. Fighting back against your governement is just step one. the pile is way deeper.
