"Not-quite-a-recession-yet" and you

The media is more than reluctant to admit we are in recession. I wager they will admit it once the next president is seated, to keep “The Decider’s” historical slate free from such a mar.
The question is this:
America has long been seen as the mecca of prosperity. People have always migrated here from every nation on earth to find better opportunities. Yet the reverse never happens. With a number of other countries soaring to the top as America sinks slowly, have you ever personally considered moving to another country, or even converting all your currency?

I did move to another country, not to make my fortune, though. I have considered moving somewhere like England where the currency is strong just to bank some coin, but I’m content in NZ for the time being.
i have many a time considered trying to move to Iceland.
I’ve considered it, but my own personal situation is not so bad that it would be worth the hassle. And any guest-worker paperwork I had would probably lock me down to working in the computer industry, which makes it very unattractive. If there were a European university looking for music professors, however…..
Never! I stand by my country through thick and thin, war and prosperity. I love this place. Just go stand in her beauty. Just don’t abandon her help her.
I have wanted to leave. If Senators Hillary or McCain are seated as president my decision will be cemented—and I will say hello to ex-pat status.
@squirbel, Where are you thinking of going?
DIsclaimer: I’m not disillusioned to believe the grass is greener on the other side.
Seoul or Okinawa.
I am not one to see in the future but the way this country is being hauled over by the “Powers that Be”, I would say Keep your Guns handy cause you are going to need’um!!!
