Wow. Thanks for posting this. There are some amazing quotes from that:

"Money will always flow toward opportunity, and there is an abundance of that in America."

"Commentators today often talk of “great uncertainty.” But think back, for example, to December 6, 1941, October 18, 1987 and September 10, 2001. No matter how serene today may be, tomorrow is always uncertain.Don’t let that reality spook you. Throughout my lifetime, politicians and pundits have constantly moaned about terrifying problems facing America. Yet our citizens now live an astonishing six times better than when I was born. The prophets of doom have overlooked the all-important factor that is certain: Human potential is far from exhausted, and the American system for unleashing that potential – a system that has worked wonders for over two centuries despite frequent interruptions for recessions and even a Civil War – remains alive and effective."

Is it any wonder I want to move to America ASAP?

Hey, if you want to chill out instead of studying, that's your call. Don't blame it on the country.
...forced to educate himself...

He wasn't referring to himself with 'chill out'.

...or "his crew."
Wait, you don't have to pay for university? What is this accounting magic? I had to pay!
