I do not really know if America is falling behind or not. Some things that have happened over the last years make me feel like I am still living in Argentina. Decreasing taxes for the rich people when there are portions of the population with a lot of needs is wrong. What happened in Wall Street is also wrong: a lot of bankers made mistakes and then the tax payers have to pay the bill; some of those tax payers are very poor. So when I think about these things I probably have to say that America is falling behind.
But on the other hand, good things are still happening. People still want to come to America to earn a living. This must mean that even if things are not as good as we would like them, they are better than in other places. America is still the richest country is the world. The Chinese are growing a lot, but they are still far away. I think that America is still ahead of most countries, but that they are coming closer to us.
