After WWII, the US represented 60% of the world economy, now it is
just at 21% percent and strongly on the decline. I would call this
"going down the drain".

You don't think WWII might have had something to do with the other
(formerly
wealthy) countries poverty? Now that they have built up their
economies,
that hurts us how?
somehow something is missing. most of this planet was driven into or totally
destroyed during that war. Genocide was a day to day thing.
yes, thank you, thanjk you, thank you, a gazillion times. (like you never
profited their poverty levels).
JFK was a forward thinker. The marbles he chased were the future, most
often.

respect is given.
downhill slide is a seperate term. Decision of choice to take the low road
when the high road was open is unknown. Are you going the same direction as
most other countries on this planet.
well lil minds with lil ideas have their own values.
"so you remember the good ole days when the world was weak and we were
strong."
