The U.S. is a failed State
   
Oh I know. There are examples of countries worse than the U.S. But lets just consider a few facts:

- Corporations have lobbied and won the privilege of being compensated for shipping jobs and factories elsewhere.
- Most of congress are completely beholden to their benefactors.
- Obscenely expensive elections favor the corporate interest.
- The chamber of commerce and others have no allegiance to state, only to capital.
- The media is either hard right, or right, with few exceptions.
- The military industrial complex is alive and the only true American industry of any significance.
- Democracy and Capitalism are by nature at odds. Capitalism is winning.
- The Treasury was recently robbed by banks, insurance, and Wall street. Nothing for the unconnected.
- The most people incarcerated per capita.
- The most homicides per capita.
- The most murders per capita.
- A failing education system.
- A failing infrastructure.
- Damaged social safety system.
- Health care failure. Too expensive. Get really sick and file bankruptcy or decline the needed procedure.
- A popular explosion of anti-intellectualism.
- A viable movement toward fascism (tea party) and away from progressivism (no movement).
- A surveillance state. You're on camera!

I could go on.

36. Cool. They can pay my medical bills and my kid's college tuition.
   
Do they live in places with a decent health care system?

Right there that shows plain as day as to just what the DUmmies want. They want free everything.

38. I wonder if the 40 million living in poverty in the USA would agree with you.
   
I doubt it. Glad it's working for you though.

They get food stamps dontcha know?
And food stamps is the greatest thing ever. Just ask Pelosi.

26. well OK, if you're talking "super-powers"
   
I suppose. I was thinking of the industrialized world, Europe etc.
We are way behind most of those countries.

They are as broke if not more broke than we are. They are cutting all the sacred social programs you guys cream over.

13. The country is totally dependant on oil ...a finite resource ...from other countries.
   
There's not much time left.

We could have much more if you guys would let people drill for what is there.

They are the failed state of mind. They should go to North Korea, Burma, or Afghanistan.
