Replying to a comment on Wyden, on paternity leave, sucker punched by Harry Reid
Wow. That really is a distorted world view you have there. The only industrialized countries in which we have had a sizable pressence since WWII have been Germany and Japan and the only countries we appreciably rebuilt were Germany and Japan (which we also happened to destroy), plus we did all of it because it was good for us. Believe it or not, Europe would have survived the Cold War without us.
The bottom line is, we are behind several countries in the Human Development Index, many (37) countries in life expectancy, quite a few in infant mortality), homicide, etc. etc. The point, as Michael I belive was trying to say, we thought the Democrats were going to work on some of this stuff, but have done nothing. Saying we should move elsewhere is a non-argument. Don't you want a better country for yourself and your children?
