I feel using the GDP as a metric to assess how a country is doing, is unreasonable. If you look at wealth distribution, housing, cost of living, future prospects for young people, actual policies, you get a better picture. The picture the USA is showing looks like a horror show to me. Carl Sagan was right and the Right understood him well. Buying up radio stations, media to mold the larger public into a state where you basically have inoculated them against any form of nuance or reason gains you the power to overthrow democracy.
