I visited US once and been reading a lot about the country, I also have a friend living there and some family. I live in a half-developed European country. We have a free higher level education, free healthcare if you work or someone in your family works, some very financial regulations and very strict hygiene regulations (for restaurants etc.). Guns not allowed to broad public.
Visiting The States, gave me an impression that the country does not really like their residents. If you trip once in your life path, you have quite big chance that it's all done for you, and in one of the best scenarios you will end up with huge loans.
Many people prefer not to go to a doctor, or not to go to study, people are not guaranteed any paid holidays etc. How this is making anyone confident? How an uncertain public can be productive?
Plus super expensive plasterboard houses everywhere (however that's not unique for the US), guns to anyone and quite dirty (compared to what I'm used to see) food places. I really didn't like what I saw and I became more glad that I live in my country.
Of course there no only bad things that I noticed, I do like the military effort that protects the status-quo (I wouldn't risk going to army in my country), or ease of opening a business etc. but overall balance for me was not in favour for the US.
