You cannot really believe that. How many Cubans do you know? I have known a few. They escaped Castro on a boat. My mother's best friend was married to a Cuban.

Call it what you like, say it how you will, but The US 0f A is still the most powerful, most successful, country in the world.

Still the country everyone calls when they get in trouble.
We might be in a bit of a pickle right now but we survived a lot of wars, a lot of assassinations, The great depression, The dust bowl years, Tricky Dick and Slick Willie, and a lot of other crooked politicians.
Bill Gates started with nothing but a pocket protector and a good idea and look at him now.

We were here yesterday and we will be here tomorrow.

Whether you believe it or not most Americans still enjoy a quality of life far superior to most of the rest of the world. Most folks I know are doing just fine.
We just like to whine a lot.
