Japan has been a mess for their people ... not their ruling elite of course ... seems to me the problem in the US is that the ruling elite have so little regard for their citizens they follow mindless policies of academia while playing silly political games to their own benefit without any regard at all for the people the are supposed to serve and represent.
To say Obama or Bush serve(d) the country is the greates insult to those who have fought and died for their country. These royal wannabes live the life of luxury while bankrupting their citizens ... iin the old days it would have been called treason ... now it is gridlock politics.
