The answer depends on who you are.
If you're an affluent middle-aged white man (like I think a lot of us here are), then there's no where else in the world that you're rather be. You're able to make money, turn it into more money, and keep a bunch of it.
If you're a woman or minority or LGBTQ, you're still likely better off here than most other countries, but not necessarily all.
If you're middle class, then things here aren't as good as they used to be, and they're beginning to slip behind other countries. As our economy was exploding, rich people kept getting richer, but it wasn't translating into higher wages for middle class workers. The rich were pocketing that money. New jobs that are being created are often lower-paying jobs than the ones that people have been losing - so people are working more second jobs and turning to "gigs" to make up the income gap. Meanwhile housing costs are increasing, as are healthcare costs.
Oh, and it's getting harder for your kids to go to college, because the government guaranteeing student loans meant the banks could loan as much as they wanted, which meant that schools could charge whatever they wanted. Meanwhile, the labor glut meant that employers could require college degrees, even for positions where they're not needed - like being an administrative assistant. So, parents make too much to get free grants, but not enough to save, and the students take on big loans that they can never escape.
If you're poor in this country - whether by choice or by circumstance, or if you're mentally ill, this is not really the country you want to be in. The government has mostly left it up to non-profits to deal with all of that, rather than having a strong national strategy for fighting poverty, addressing mental health, substance abuse, etc.
What's crazy is that the poor are often the strongest flag-wavers, even though they have the least reason to be. I guess it's because they've never been anywhere else, and they don't have much reliable information about other countries. All they have is what they've been taught since birth, which is that the US is the greatest place on Earth - God's Country! - and no where else is even close. They know taxes in other countries are high (while they're getting back tax refunds every year because of their low income - still not realizing that the super-rich are probably paying a lower percentage than they are), and they know in other countries you can't always own as many guns as you like, and owning guns = the only freedom that matters. So they, continue to think that they've got it made, even as they're being left farther and farther behind. It's cool though, because they can still go on vacation to Shreveport again this year!
