Btw, have you ever seen Hetalia? Your post reminded me of it.

Wait what system exactly are you referring to? The political system is still mostly fine, just in bad need of a few amendments (some of them need to be constitutional, like a permanent ban on all form of lobbying and lying/making misleading statements to the public). If you're referring to the economic system, again it's because of more recent (since the 1970's) changes that have really undermined the lessons and learned from the 1930's. All the smart people (like my dear Fareed) have been saying for a while now the U.S. needs to move away from this emphasis on consumption and housing to a more export and R&D driven economy.
But then most people (well, folks who go to business school are taught this) probably don't understand that a home is a liability, not an asset. Lower house prices are actually a good thing, because it keeps the prices of everything else down too. That along with serious green energy efforts are going to be key. It boggles my mind that there are still people who blatantly deny climate change in the face of all the extreme weather we're seeing...
