%X The article discusses the critical accumulation of huge economic, engineering and social problems in the US and their connection with the extreme polarization of political struggle. These long-standing US problems, taken and considered TOGETHER, look like a diagnosis of a serious disease. The author discusses issues such as (in comparison with other high-income countries): poorly guarded border, transparent to illegal immigrants and drugs; a huge number of drug-addicted youth and extremely high mortality rates from drug overdoses; ultra-expensive services: medical, university, housing, others; poor maternal and child health care and high infant mortality; too many poor families for such a rich country; poor quality school education; poor filled state budget and large national debt; huge trade deficit; moving thousands of manufacturing facilities and millions of jobs overseas (as a result of misunderstood ideas of “free trade”); dilapidated infrastructure and poor protection from natural disasters; the political competition between the two main political parties in America has escalated into a dead-end political confront. All these problems have led America to a decline in living standards within the country as well as a partial loss of authority and leadership in the world.
