OK you tell me how America in 1960 was inferior to other countries before we started turning into a 3rd world crapfest like today.
One, I dispute your premise. You were always a crapfest. Did the Wall Street crash teach you nothing!?
Two, you prove to me how the USA was best in literacy in the 1960s, when 95% of you couldn't read a second language - which most of Europe could, and most of India and Africa could at least speak - and frankly, even to this day, at least 25% of you are barely literate in English.
Healthcare!? The NHS was founded in 1948, and you're assuming that in the 1960s, healthcare for the non-disgustingly-rich was better in the USA than in the UK, or indeed, in most of Western Europe!?
I cannot hope to convince you if you're that jingoistic. Just wallow in your Allybammy swamp, but don't expect to convince any of us in the civilised world.
