Handfull1 Okay, I understand what you're saying, but what you are actually referring to is the perception you once had about the USA and how things appeared to be going from your perspective.
Keep in mind that the USA was a poor, almost decrepit place during the 1930's and when the USA began selling a false sense of greatness to the American people by using borrowed money to build America into what it became during the 1950's and 1960's, it led the average American to believe that the USA can achieve it all by default because of it's apparent greatness!
What nobody ever told Joe American however, was that it was all created with borrowed money from the bank, not money that the USA had in it's savings account.
What followed that misleading self-awareness of country, was America's failure to pay-back the loans it acquired for itself to buy all that sh*t which to this very day, America has never repaid to it's creditors!
This is the reason why the USA is now $35Trillion in national debt and why the American infrastructure is crumbling around itself because there is no money to replace it AND no credit available to borrow even more money to service the national debt's monthly interest payment.
Like I said, America has never been a great place, but the appearance that it was a great place is still stuck in every American's mind who is old enough to remember what it was like at the circus when everything appeared to be free.
That appearance came with a price and that price was fake greatness.
