@sonhouse saidWrong. You said this on your last post :
@Rajk999
Are you being deliberately obtuse? I already said I know that several times.
Did I say anything about the other qualities making a good country?
I SAID best economy in the world. I didn't read anything else into that.
I have been around the world three times and saw for myself what happiness there is in other countries and I know that full well, but that does not change the FACT JACK that our economy is pushing 30 TRILLION a year while China fell back under 20.That is ALL I said.
So nothing about retracting the word 'best'.
You really are stupid and dishonest.
Practice speaking the truth.
@Rajk999 saidStop lying.
Did you withdraw your false statement that the US has the best economy in the world? NO !! What you did instead is try to talk your way around your false statement. Its called dishonesty and is practiced by people without integrity.
Name a country with a better economy than America. Go ahead.

@Phranny saidReagan thought that this is what the "shining city on the hill" looked like. He just couldn't change America enough to get there sooner. Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep this from happening. When Trump said he was running, most of America was smart enough to think he couldn't win if he did run, because everyone knew he was a big, fat blowhard whose opinion changed with the wind direction. Dumb America fell for the con Big Time, and so here we are.
The masses are asses. Right wingers will find a way to blame the disaster ahead on the left. Trump will probably end the free press once he controls the DOJ so disinformation will be even more pervasive. He already has the SCOTUS in his pocket. The "Shining City on a Hill" is about to burn to the ground. Reagan is spinning in his grave.

@Suzianne saidI totally agree with you regarding Reagan. However, like Liz Cheney, although disgustingly conservative, they both had/have ethics. Trump has none. He is creating an enormous swamp before Day One. Despite, not because of, the conservatives, we have been a shining city on the hill.It will be interesting to see how Wall Street reacts. Those billionaires keep their wealth in the market, not banks or beneath their mattresses. If Wall Street blows up, so does much of their wealth. For the sake of all of us with pensions and portfolios, I hope The Street does not implode.

Trump is hell bent on destroying America.
When he runs the national debt up to 40 trillion he will NEVER take responsibility, it will be Kamala's fault, or Pelosi or whatever democrat scapegoat dejour.

@Suzianne saidVague nonsensical question. What does 'better' mean. Better can be judged in many different ways. So I will leave these pointless questions for you to deal with.
Stop lying.

The issue here is that in the opening post America was cretited with having the best economy. It is not. It is the biggest economy. $$hitheads like you that love to argue like a fool will not be able to understand [like sonhouse] the difference. If you Google 'best economy', chances you may not find America on the top 10.
America has become [and the world knows], a bunch of fat, unhealthy, lazy, unproductive people who bitch about petty matters, instead of being productive and healthy.

I know this may come as a shocker to your confused mind, but America is way better than you think it is.
But as we all saw in the election, a lot of them are as confused as you are.
They believe they need a 'daddy' figure to save them. That's fine if you're five. Not if you're 35.

@Rajk999 saidHey ASSSHOLE, I DID get a passport and I DID work overseas for near ten years and KNOW some countries are better to live in than the US but that does not prove we are not the largest economy on the planet.

Something like ten MILLION new jobs where before those folks could not even afford to by food even if it was more expensive but now they can but that means NOTHING to a hater like you.

It's so like you conservatives to change the goalposts.
Now that Trump is coming in (again) to destroy our QoL, I wouldn't count America in the "20 Best Places to Live", either.
