The biggest scandal in US public life ought to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.
A lot of that comes directly from anti-democracy bad economics in the conservative style in which only economic metrics relating to totals and averages are meant to really matter, metrics relating to distribution, human welfare, future generations, etc., are deemed ethically irrelevant, suspect.
