What "failure" are you talking about @donttread? This country is doing fine. Life in America might not be perfect for everybody, but it is pretty damned good for the vast majority of us.
Did someone tell you when you were a kid (assuming you're not still one now) that life was going to be a bed of roses and you'd be so wealthy you'd never want for anything?
Sorry you got duped, but you shoulda figured the fallacy of that out for yourself.
Just because your life is a bitter disappointment don't project it on to everyone else.
Most of the problems in this country are social problems. As far as the strength of our democracy is concerned, it's never been better. And the economy, though not perfect, is far from going to hell.
Whiners and doomsayers like you just use a lot of hyperbole in place of actually saying something.
