But where will Americans go? This is the world’s last best hope and most nations don’t have such open border policies.

[Marty62]

Wait just a minute. They voted for this guy, they should be forced to live under his BS laws.

“the U.S. when the Great Recession dried up job opportunities. A lot of crass nativists might think “Good Riddance!” but I wonder what they’ll say when their own children seek greener pastures abroad in 10 or 20 years?”

Then they will figure out fascist ways to keep them in the country and working themselves to death. Expatting is looking more and more inviting and a lot of people are just going to wash their hands of this mess.

[rabscuttle385]

So now that the reckoning is all but unkickable, do the Boomers think their kids and grandkids will just become fiscal serfs? Think again.

This young American thinks it's long past time to slash and burn the rotting carcass that is Big Government!

[rabscuttle385]

The threat America faces is a world that competes for our greatest natural resource: it's young. If we make the tax climate hellish, the U.S. is going to suffer outmigration as places like Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Chile realize what an opportunity they have to cream our entrepreneurial talent. If we don't, and let the deficit spiral out of control, the dollar will fall and workers will go elsewhere for value reasons. There's already a migratory tension in Europe, waged primarily with favorable tax treatment for high net worth immigrants.

fyi

My daughter’s becoming fluent in Japanese and ASL. Maybe a couple of other languages wouldn’t hurt.

It will probably look something like this

Obama will not allow his surfs to attempt to flee the land. They must be made to serve their socialist masters.

[Carry_Okie]

The entitlements Late Boomers expect aren't going to last that long. They are the first chump generation.

[jerry557]

Why should they stay? Social Security and Medicare will be bankrupt by the time they reach retirement. And that doesnt include a $12 trillion dollar debt.

[edcoil]

The gov already covered this. The USA is one of the few governments that tax their ex-pats no matter where they live.

[OneWingedShark]

>If Millennials realize they’re going to have to pay the fiscal price for baby boomers’ sins, they might choose to leave the US for *more financially friendly locations*.

You know, places like: Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela, Rawanda, Mexico... pretty much anywhere.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

Boomers had zero to do with creating those programs, Governor Palin was one year old when America passed the last two (the oldest boomer was still a teen) and SS is from the 1930s.

[Dem Guard]

Well retirees may have to follow them abroad with their meager retirement benefits as well!

[Flash Bazbeaux]

The two Flash Jrs. (’05 and ‘07) already have their foreign passports.

But the Chump Generation isn’t going to be the Millenials, it’s going to be the late Boomers and Gen X — because when the Millenials are faced with toiling endlessly to keep the Senior Gravy Train running, Atlas is going to Shrug.

[RinaseaofDs]

We’re doing it with our business. Moving from WA to Idaho. Done with WA state.

[Freddd]

BS they will have to pay for baby boomer’s sins.

BS

BS

How about paying for corrupt government’s sins!?

[SargeK]

"It will be harder to start and raise families."

And this is why Europe is dying.

[Alberta's Child]

Not as much of a stretch as one might think. I’m a huge ice hockey fan, and one of the remarkable trends I’ve seen is young players from Eastern Europe going back there to play even during their peak years. The Russian professional leagues have done a good job of getting talented players to move there.

[Malesherbes]

The ones who leave will be the bright and energetic - and probably home schooled. The ones who stay will be clueless graduates of government schools who were easily convinced that Zero was their savior.

[ScreamingFist]

LOL! The BS in this article is overwhelming. Robert Jacob Samuelson (born December 23, 1945) is a contributing editor of Newsweek and The Washington Post and the CSM is a lefty rag of biblical proportions.

The “Millennials” won’t go anywhere where there are no flush toilets, internet or American Idol re-runs. They’ll sit around on mom’s coach and whine about soda pop taxes.
