That's the problem with Americans.
They don't want to hear or listen how foreign countries are doing well, and how they did it.
Like Canada and it's emerging productivity and low debt.
Or how Germany (a country smaller then Texas) was the largest exporter of the world, until China took that spot over this year.
And believe me or not, google it - Germany has the highest wage cost on the planet, and yet still the major exporter of the world !
Stick with your olden conservative ways. All the other countries won't. And it has it's reasons.
Just in the last 40 years here in Canada:
- Changed over to metric (Ireland did it last year).
- Implemented Government Healthcare
- Free trade agreements with not just Nafta, but many other countries
- Save money by having $1 and $2 coins, and as of next year paperbills will be made out of plastic.
- Got rid of manufacturing tax, and replaced it with GST tax (vat tax)
- privitization of post office branches and delivery services
and many more items.
This country changes every 5 to 10 years... just like computer software needs to be updated.
And that's what differs us from you americans.
