America is very slowly going downhill. It is a political, economic, social and moral decline that will likely follow a similar path to Rome. However, at the moment, it is still the best place to make a living and get ahead in life IF you are: 1.) Smart and 2.) Ambitious. 'Average joes' are suffering in the U.S and things are just going to get worse for them.
My main issue with America is simply cultural. Americans are a boring one-dimensional people.
When ever my Russian(technically Ukrainian but womenher age consider themselves Russian)communist mother in law talks about Americas downfall...I remind her that once America stops writing financial aid checks her pension will stop. Then she usually says "i love America"(rolls eyes)
