This is an interview of the author of "Were You Born on the Wrong Continent?: How the European Model Can Help You Get a Life", Thomas Geoghegan. I found it to be quite interesting.

Certainly things like free higher education, that actually leads to lower GDP, improves the livelihood of normal people. But god forbid students leave college without $50,000 in debt. That would be Communism!!!!!!!1

Consider the source...

It's an interview with an author......

The author may be biased though, sure. I don't really know the background of the author. This article was forwarded to me by my sister, who works in a German company and has to deal with German interns on a regular basis. They certainly see pros and cons between living in America and Germany, but for the most part they think it's better back there.
