I already know scientists moving to Europe because they couldn't find places to work in the US. Labs are not hiring here anymore, but the Euro labs seem excited and able to being in new talent

The key part is that the overall European budget for science is microscopic in comparison. Very few scientists will actually be able to move there.

And why can't the EU increase the budget?
