    Ask Paul Ryan. 1-10 are being mistreated with all that socialism. Suffering through affordable healthcare education and childcare.

            http://www.newsweek.com/ryan-zinke-s...pellers-844246

            Trump’s Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, has argued that he never took a private jet, because the planes he travelled on had propellers. He made the bizarre statement Tuesday as he faced questions in Congress about his spending of taxpayer dollars for a series of chartered flights.

              As the greatest coach in college hockey history used to say ‘if you don’t have the best of everything make the best of everything you have.’ Things could and should be better, but we shouldn’t take it for granted just how lucky we are. People at any other time in history would have done anything to be where we are right now.

                Putin's Russia has electricity. They're way better off than our Founding Fathers.

                  Most of the Russian people live in Europe so based on your earlier post they would be significantly better off.

                  If you’ve seen Turn the women from the revolutionary period might tilt the balance in their favor.

                        By any other time do you mean NOW? A couple hundred million Europeans may have a different idea, as might a few dozen million Canadians. This kind of American "exceptionalism" seems like worn out idea in 2018. There are far too many Americans who quite rightly are not waking up feeling lucky today. Millions, actually.

                        I think we have a lot going for us here, and yes for many of us, things are as good here and now as they would be anywhere else and at any time. But statements like yours make it sound like billions of people think they'd be better off here, and that just isn't true. Would some? Of course. But those are truly the most needy and oppressed people in the world.

                        You sound like my very naive step-mother who honestly believes America is the only place where people are even free to vote for a candidate of their own choosing. She couldn't believe it when I listed the other countries of the world that encompassed a majority of the Earth's population where free elections were just as common as they are here (sometimes I suspect MORE common).

                        I like my country. I'm not looking to go anywhere else just right now. But the idea that this is the best it has ever been in the world is not only naive, I think it is damaging since it clouds our minds to the possibility that somewhere else they might do something better.

                            https://www.mediamatters.org/researc...-advice/219619

                            President Donald Trump has told people he has chosen CNBC's Larry Kudlow to replace Gary Cohn as the director of the National Economic Council. Kudlow has no formal training in economics, and he has a history of making poor financial predictions, pushing conservative economic talking points, and making outrageous and offensive comments.

                            Kudlow does not have either a graduate or undergraduate degree in economics and has not written scholarly papers on the subject.

                              I agree completely with you. It’s a little more nuanced than I could articulate in a sentence or two. Obviously you’re almost always better off being wealthy in one area than poor in another. Also, there are probably half a dozen or so countries today where you’re better off there than here. Even that has a lot to do with tastes and preferences though.

                                Except now it's 17. And if we keep on the path we're on it will be 30. Then 50.

                                1980 was the great inflection point in American history. Until we undo that fundamental damage and destroy what those plutocrats did to this country we will just be bleeding out.
