Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

To American in Europe:
Well, I go to Europe anytime. What do I get from living in Switzerland and paying about the same amounts of tax as in the US? Good social security (where "security" is not meant as a joke), free education that is even high quality, public transport that works, an efficient government, high salaries, health care for everybody, and yes, a political system that is as close to democracy as it can get.
Maybe you should travel more and not look at the world just in white (we Americans) and black (those socialists). But then, people in the US seems to get brainwashed at an early stage. And I guess the American Enterprise Institute did not forecast that the US at the end of the crisis is going to be owned by trusts from China, Singapore and the Middle East. Kind of ironic when one thinks that was thanks to Bush/Cheney.
