Spain has universal health care, high-speed rail, and no student debt. The US is falling behind Europe and Asia in health care, education, and transportation. We need to measure how well we are doing as a country and society by vastly broader measures than just how much money the superwealthy are hording in the stock market and how much military might we are throwing around.
