And without the US economy a lot of foreign economies would collapse. It's interlinked.
I'm not trying to say America is the shining example of a perfectly run country. But let's give some credit where credit is due. They don't call the King of Holland the "Leader of the free world" and pop culture isn't ripe with references to the "Canadian Dream". Oil is still sold in Petro Dollars. 5% of the world's population lives in America, yet at a minimum 40% of all foreign aid comes from America.
Could America be better do better? Absolutely. America is a very rich nation and it's lead by even richer people that are completely out of touch with the population. In an ideal world things would be different. In this world, America is a pretty good success story. Trying to say otherwise is folly.
