And i have no clue about their economy, just know that the IRS is a pain in the ass.
Anyway America means a lot to me, thats where i make my money, my work. Without it I wouldn't be who i am today. It's not only work, whenever i'm over there a few times a year, it feels like a vacation too. It's a land of opportunities, like no where else, especially in southern California which I'm familiar with. For example, i'm interested in a helicopter certificate, i do it in the states for half the price, i just call them up and in the next 30 minutes i be in the air if i want too. It's not possible where i'm from (Sweden)
The food is great with good servings, top quality, nice restaurant and fantastic prices, might depends where you go but mostly you get good servings, as I'm talking about proper food, no fast food chains.
But on the other hand i think it might be a rough country to live in too. Hard to get a decent job, Prices in hospitals are ridiculous high, Traffic is terrible and while it's rush hour you don't wanna be out there. and the quality of their roads are terrible, even though it always maintenance but they always want to fix stuff as fast as possible, no feelings for quality. and 3 months later they back doing the same job they was doing 3 months ago, and they have electricity in the air still. These stuff cost heaps of money to fix, but i say it again, i have no clue about Americas economy.
Most Scandinavian people see Americans as they are dumb or stupid. i'm not making this up! but i just think they are a bit less educated.
Overall i love America, and this is the feeling i got from the states after 32 visits in the last 20 years and please don't judge don't wanna upset someone, this is my opinion.
