Maybe we can learn to control our national debt like Russia. Seems to me there are good examples for the US across the world, German work ethic, French culture/wine and dependence on nuclear energy, Chinese on work/herbal medicine/education, Netherlands tolerance towards drugs, Japanese police that don’t shoot first. When the USA has one of the highest prison populations I don’t think that is something we want to brag about.There are things we excel at obviously but other areas not so much.
