US is declining? For "40 years the country has been adapting its model"

There was no mention of decline. It is true that as the time passes it becomes hard and harder to adapt. And those mechanisms of adaption will beocmes visible.

"I'm applying this to the US but that is applied to all countries in the world."

Did not single out the US.

It is a fact that can be applied to, say Germany. The Social Democracy model of Europe is also going through adaptations.

Germany missed a good time to reform when the going was good. The country has a long way to go to keep that economic standing they have.

Cases where a model was rigid and did not evolve:

The model the military built for Brazil was kaputt circa 1979. They stuck to it and kept borrowing petrodollars, they subk.

The Indonesian Suharto model was dead by 1994. They stuck to it, by 1998 it sunk.
