Trump has paused all US aid for at least six months. They are rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants by the thousands. Their economy is still the most powerful in the world, even with China doing their best to overtake them(in between causing global pandemics).
America has a crime problem, but at least over there scum who murder children are usually put to death themselves. And it's not like we're crime-free ourselves. The Albanian Mafia make hundreds of millions from the UK drugs trade, children are shot dead in the crossfire between organised crime groups, and fatal stabbings happen so frequently they barely make the news. The retail sector loses over £1 Billion per year from shoplifting, because police hardly even bother to respond to it anymore.
Although at least we're safe from people using the wrong pronouns on Facebook.
I rather suspect it's far more difficult to make the US welfare system a lifestyle choice than it is to live comfortably on benefits in the UK.
