> If you run your country properly and efficiently Have you ever wondered why very large companies are run inefficiently and have a lot of bureaucratic morass in them, while startups and small businesses actually get things done? Now compare the size of the United States' landmass, population, and GDP vs. individual European countries. There was a time when the United States' model was supposed to be like the European Union, with strong individual states governed by a national body, where each state would have wide latitude over how they conducted their business. In such an alignment, you might see examples of efficiency (Germany) and examples of stupidity (Greece). Alas, this is not the direction the US decided to go, and instead has a pretty inefficient strong national state that gets very little done specifically because of its size.
