The irony is I am amazed at the stupidity of some who consider everything else but the facts and have this "sensitivity" to think others are all "US haters" and BS like that. It flies in the face of basic common sense.

I despise this current regime in the US - it is due for regime change for the safety of the US and the world right now. But that has absolutely zero to do with "hating America". I don't "hate" any country - that idea is even stupid :-)

Re the "asking questions of leaders" - I agree this is elementary stuff, but tis not happening. The leadership is unaccountable and has a track record of deception and lying. Many issues recently were more than enough to impeach the leaders of many other countries. It is amazing this level of propaganda/lying has become "acceptable". It's not even hidden, but totally transparent :-)

One major difference, - and I'm sure this must the culture thing, (call it "patriotism" or whatever), is that almost the rest of the world can see the problems within the US - forgetting the current Admin lies in foreign policy. This flies in the face with, looks like 50% of the US population, who don't seem to see anything wrong. Tho is it obvious that many within the US goverment know the state of play judging by the statements from them. Greenspan is an example - he ain't daft:-)

I agree on the "no fiscal policy" with the current Admin. This is going to have - seems to have started - a devastating effect on individuals in the US. When an Admin takes upon itself to not publish or
"abbreviate" the nations financial stats - that is another sign of trouble:-) Do shareholders no longer need an annual report or does some BS verbal (read "lies") suffice these days?? :-)

The sad bit is the US as a nation will end up paying a price on so many levels for this Admin's "doctrine" and it will affect people who never ever contributed to this fiasco. This has already started and is just increasing...

Being blind is not a defense :-) Time will tell, but I for one, will not be happy when the crap it's the fan, since this will not only affect the US, but with ripples worldwide.
Horse Shit.
