Vested interests are precisely why it is hard.

He probably meant "it's not complicated" because it really is not complicated, it's just hard, the same way e.g. weight-lifting is simple but hard.

Take a look at the Fortune 500 list, and you can see exactly why the US has the problems it does. The largest companies correlate to the shortcomings, e.g. oil & gas & cars vs. public transit, or all of the healthcare companies that are in the F50 vs. affordable healthcare.

Vested interests rule the US at this point.
