Point being:
You can't look at Detroit or Stank Possum, Arkansas as "America falling behind".
There are places in America that are turning into the stone age, but it's more due to their citizens not trying then the country failing the citizens. Everyone gets free primary education and fed while they get it.
Anyone who wants to go to vocational or standard college can get a myriad of aid in the form of grants, loans, scholarships, housing assistance, jobs on campus, etc..
And if you don't want go to college, stats show you have at least a 50% chance to earn $35,000 a year or more. If you team up with a roommate or spouse making $35K as well, you can live a very decent life here on $70k combined.
Nowhere in the world I'd rather be Dave.
Nowhere in the world you should wish you were.
America is truly the greatest country on the planet, you just need to get out of the freaking city. City is a rich mans game.
