Excessive welfare…
American unemployment is up at one of its highest levels. American population is aging… Less and less good taxpayers… More and more expenses… More and more debt.
American people are more in debt than others.
Very soon the concern of ones health/surviving in poverty will be greater than war.
There you go. Lack of nationalism and lack of economic stimulus.
About US/Japan issue.
America ranked #7 about its economy.
What products does America use? Japanese!
Japanese cars are the best cheapest etc and etc. Same goes for other products. Japanese companies outdo american companies. Japanese attitude toward business is a bit better than American, hence why Japanese are so bad.
