US has fallen so far in so many areas, that it is only a myth that it is the best country to live in. That myth may slowly sinking as Americans expand their horizons and travel outside of their country, however it is a well known fact, that most Americans have never been outside their own country so how could they have a clue as to what goes on elsewhere.

What a sad situation.

Do you even know the context behind the phrase "American exceptionalism" means? Because your post suggests you don't

It means we try harder and don't settle until we get what we want, and then some.

Not one person responded to my post. Are all you comfortable with discussing irrational concepts and premises?

LOL to the OP.

Why should I care if we are better than Norway or any other country in certain areas? We do not strive to be the best Norway, we strive to be the best America. Compare yourself to others and you sell yourself short...

Because the Federal Gov. could not even manage a Lemon Aid Stand. A smart Gov. that is reduced with unnecessary Departments is a good stewardship of the American Tax Monies. I posted that even the Federal Gov does not know how agencies is supported by the tax payer.

The ACA (Obama Care does not deliver a Reasonably costs health insurance that one can actual use. ACA Cost go up every year instead of stabilizing of producing a lower cost product.

This is sad and every department should be reviewed by outside auditors.
The question is and hold be.
What is the ROI to the American People.

I challenge our Big Gov. Advocates to Google "how big is the US Federal Gov.?????

This will answer the question of "How big do you want Gov?".
