Our country, or our government? I suppose in a democracy those two are inextricably linked, but it's a little too depressing to believe that we have the government we deserve. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the US just isn't interested in being a serious country any more, at least politically. Everything is is oriented towards posturing and signaling rather than delivering results. Outside politics, I still have immense faith in America. My wife (who is Swiss) was able to come here and build a business that she would have had no real opportunity to even start in Switzerland.
