Think you've got problems? Consider the plight of 35-year-old David Hitz, sensitively retold by the compassionate folks at USA Today. Hitz "returned to the USA last year after living in Britain for seven years," the paper explains. "He was shocked at the lack of economic opportunity compared with when he left the country during the boom years of the 1990s."
Oh sure, Hitz had a job when he came back to the U.S. But his wife couldn't find one for four long months. And that's not his only problem. ''In England, health care was abysmal and free," he says. "In the United States, it's abysmal and expensive." Houses are cars are pricier than they used to be, too.
Oh, and "summer vacation will be really expensive"--a complaint that somehow seems less poignant coming from someone who lives in Orlando, Fla.!
Hmmm, Mr. Hitz is a mortgage broker yet has no clue as to why the economic opportunities have waned since the dotcom boom. Yep, that's the kind of person I want handling my money! Good luck keeping your job after your boss reads the USA story Hitz.
