Uncharitably, it sounds like you think of your nation as a generic economic zone whose growth you want to continually increase at all costs, regardless of the fate of its citizens. But what is a nation, if not the people that comprise it?

But one nation, alone, fights Humanity's cause. Trump et al have cast off the mantle, but it's only another 3.5 years and we have a shot at donning it again. The nation is not for the people - or we would simply rapaciously consume its resources to feed the present. The people of the nation are not for the nation or we would consume them to fuel the engine. The nation and the people are both there to advance the principles of the group into the future. And I believe America's principles deserve to exist into perpetuity so long as they adapt to meet shifting weather.
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
I would encourage you to examine your statements on rapacious consumption of resources and people as well.
America's cost of living crisis is in large part due to the huge carrying cost of all that graft--it wasn't illegal, mind you, just unethical.
