whatever the usa is doing is even more damaging because it's resulted in:

- $10.5 trillion national debt
- 45 million people with NO health insurance
- another 40 million people with inadequate health insurance
- substandard health outcomes compared to other developed countries
- substandard education compared to other developed countries

that doesn't mean the usa is a terrible place, or that i hate the usa...it means the usa government is not doing a very good job of protecting and promoting the public interest...it's up to the people to demand more from their government (and not just more tax cuts)
