That’s the thing. The USA is doing fine. The dollar is the world’s currency. The USA is the worlds police. If the USA fails we all go down. If the USA’s military stops militarying we all go down. Global trade stops. The Western world’s functioning, largely depends on the USA doing well.
It’s a large portion of the USA’s population that isn’t doing well. Which for a country as rich and powerful as the USA shouldn’t be a thing. But, that’s a feature not a bug. See, if they keep us hungry, and desperate then they save money on social services and have cheap labor and soldiers.
Back when Obamacare was being figured out. Some top military official said that if we gave free healthcare to all Americans no one would join the military. I can’t find it anywhere now. But, it was all over the news when it happened.
