The US got to this place by winning a world war with virtually no negative impact to our own country. We were literally the last ones standing.

All of these programs came after we established our position.

America won a world war because Europe, Russia did a lot of the early heavily lifting of and because the USA was already an economic and industrial power?

Europe and Russia were the ones killing each other and destroying each others' economies. So yeah I guess they did the "heavy lifting".

England basically destroyed the Luftwaffe and the Soviets took care of most of the Germans during the attempted invasion of Russia. So yeah, I think they did more than their fare share. Are you saying they didn’t ?
