As to Switzerland, there are maybe 14 or 15 other countries that are also much better off today than Americans. How far the great has fallen, and all the while we fight with each other constantly, which isn't helping matters.
Hmm, that pesky question keeps coming up - as Deep Throat said "Follow the Money"... or, who is profiting by US spending all our time fighting each other, instead of agreeing on what we can agree on, and fixing things.
I guess it is hard to sit down with people that eat children faces... ahem...

That was a very good post. As to the "dumbing down of America"........I went to a VERY good PUBLIC school way back in the 60s. But thereafter Public schools were positioned by the rich and POWERFUL to FAIL. Everything goes back to tax policy and public schools are paid for by PROPERTY taxes. Who has the MOST PROPERTY....Why (?) surprise....... it is Rich people, who then manipulate the election of school boards - that then fight to lower costs, which causes bad public school outcomes. And thus the "dumbing down of America". Yes (!) correct, that is a major US problem today. We have many!
Lately, we have to fight even imagined problems. (also involving schools) (who knew schools had become s battleground). We are fighting culture wars conspiracy theories that are born in dark media places and by Putin's Russian trolls. Good luck LADY LIBERTY.....I hope you survive this CRUEL attack!
