America makes a lot more sense when you think of it as a corporation with nukes rather than a country with functional government.
I'm not sure when or how it happened, but Americans seem to have decided that everything has to be privately owned for profit, and making those private services into government services (health care for example) it's "socialism" and people would rather pay 5x as much for less care than our European cousins get with their taxes by default.
