America doesn't have as many shortages yet despite our surplus many people lack access to necessary goods and services.
I know we could be doing better, but my view is also tempered by the knowledge that shortage, not abundance, is the normal human condition. It's important to judge both by the distance between what we could do and where we are, and between where we are and the poverty of normal.

I would tend to say not that our system has failed, but that it has not succeeded as fully as it might. America is not the F student, but the B/B+ student who could have an A if only we applied ourselves a bit more diligently to our studies.

I've seen the analogy used of flashing vs. occulting lights, originally for war crimes but I think it works here too. Some countries have occasional moments of light in the darkness. Others have occasional moments of darkness interrupting the light.
