America didn't have a domestic marshall plan when they implemented the actual marshall plan. They needed to rally against the soviet union with the Luftbrücke and all and now that China is taking that place they might do it again. People keep wondering about how laborers in europe are better off than the ones in the US but the reason is that if europe had american labor conditions they couldn't have made all the doctors and scientists move west.

The only thing that could stop them is probably that they don't have the public capital that they had immediately after ww2.
