but these things are caused by things like eternal desert wars, government spending and printing money, infinity H1B Indians in white collar industries etc

There's no way you can look at any country in the developed world not called America and thing the thing holding America back is government spending. This is simply not a position that can survive contact with reality and if you disagree you're going to have to provide evidence (my evidence is the Nordics). Also in response to your other comment: That's also not how that works. Money given to poor people has been thoroughly proven to mobilize the economy more than that given to rich people. Which makes sense when you actually think about it: Rich people just throw money back and forth at each other through the stock market, while poor people actually spend it on goods and services. A tremendous amount of labor (and therefore jobs) would be necessary to give 400 million people a big mac each.
