Who said the States was the best in the West

Who said the States was the best in the West?
My and the wife and 5 other buddies are leaving the United States. I have many in demand skills that are needed everywhere especially in the States. I've got my degree in business, I.T., and Sociology. My wife is a Registered Nurse. Some of my friends that are leaving are 2 Medical Doctors, 1 Dentist, 1 Accountant, and 1 other Registered Nurse. We are very close friends and we've all reached a consensus that that United States won't be such a great place to call home in the future. It could not be more blatantly obvious the the Quality of life in the U.S. is failing while other countries are improving. My and the wife are moving to Sweden. My friends are going to Canada, Australia, and Switzerland. Most of them already have job offers and they will all be making more money with their new jobs. My question is, isn't it sad that the U.S. is failing it's own people in promising the land of Milk & Honey which it so obviously lacks? Isn̢۪t it sad; the direction in which the U.S. is heading? So much social disorder. So much poverty. No quality healthcare for the general public at large. No retirement. No social security. All with homelessness and obesity becoming such an epidemic. And there is no relief. No help from the government. The rich continue to exploit the poor. The poor are held down with no room for advancement. There is no end in sight for how ugly the future looks for the United States. Is anyone out there even concerned about this? What can be done to stop the downward trend of the U.S. And with so many professionals ditching the States. How could the States remain competitive worldwide? Inflation is becoming a huge problem in the U.S. The cost of living continues to climb each year while the income remains the same. Also there are more imports than exports. More money if flowing OUT of the States rather than IN right now. The U.S. borrowed billions of dollars from China and still has no way to pay it back. All while the National Deficit continues to soar ever higher. More than 3 trillion right now. Ever heard the saying "The bigger they are, the harder they fall"? Well soon enough the U.S. will start crashing down. And great will be it's fall.

This isn't an answer, because of course i can say, sure it's sad. but 1st. the milk and honey promise was only made to Israel by God. 2nd, who are "so many professionals". I'm a professional, I have my Masters in psych and working on my Ph.D, and I'm not leaving. I work mostly with MDs and other Ph.Ds and none of them are leaving. Yes there are some countries that do other things well. I hear Germany is very nice. France is out. England and surrounding are mildly interesting. The middle east is going down the tubes fast. China and Russia are no campgrounds. Canada is great i hear too. Every country has it's poor, rich and social injustices. Instead of leaving, maybe try to make your own little nitch a better place. if everyone does that then there would be no reason to leave. The government isn't the answer to all your problems. We are the answer to many of our problems. Good luck anyway.
