    The myth of America as the greatest nation on earth is at best outdated and at worst, wildly inaccurate. If you look at data, the U.S. is really just O.K.pic.twitter.com/pFrWBH0Zfl

        We’ve built a free and prosperous nation where anyone has the opportunity to thrive and live out their dreams. We’ve also shared that gift with the world, helping others to achieve the same.

        Despite that success, we hear from the “America is irreparably flawed” crowd that our freedom and free market system only bring opportunity to the wealthy and well connected. They claim that the system just makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. The reality is the opposite:

        That sounds like a really bad thing to do with broccoli And a tortilla And anything else they said to put on it. Seriously, was that a thing? Just, ew.

        And I just came here to say that this Canadian thinks that the USA is a great country. It is sad that some of my countrymen have given Canada such a bad name, USA is our best neighbour and ally, too many Canadians don't appreciate that.

        Since we have so many problems, the only charitable thing to do is to close our borders so people can't come into this mess

        Maybe if all the people who SWORE they would leave in 2016 would ACTUALLY leave, we would be a lot better off. Odd. Cam, any idea how much foreign aid America receives from other countries every year?
