The first two paragraphs are true and great posts, the last is not. America always self corrects and is doing it now. As Churchill said:

"(1) Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.
<<This is a very violent nation. look at how it spends to develop weapons to kill people. It does not believe much in being civilized as is evidenced by how much it is willing to spend on education. Instead it wants to spend on prisons and police.

At least after WWII it displayed compassion by not only taking care of its less fortunate but it shared its wealth with other countries ravaged by WWII. But these days it is out bullying other nations, trampling on its own citizens who are less fortunate.

This is frightening since it reminds us of Nazi Germany where it went around flexing its muscle until such time that the other nations came together and quashed it. Looks like this US of A is following in the footsteps.
graphs are a great post, but the last paragraph is not. We will self correct. We are doing it now. As Winston Churchill said.
