It is also highly taboo for an American to talk about ways that other countries are better than us. America has way too much pride for our own good. The result is that 99% of Americans turn a blind eye to the fact that so many other countries have caught up to us in terms of quality of life. They could pass right by us and these blind Americans wouldn't even notice.

I think this is very true. I moved out of the US and found a better life, at least for me.
The US debt is very high. Obviously this will effect the US in the near term. I would still rather live in 2009 then 1969. Yep, the average wife has to work to make the same life but have you ever met a housewife you wanted to hang out with let alone fuck?
