They just don't have the knowledge or desire to know when the US is doing better than others (economy) or worse (health care).

True elsewhere--Canadians only compare themselves to the US when they are "better" than.
Only economists go out the door into an economy.
Everyone else goes out the door into a morality play.
Are the wicked punished?
Are the virtuous rewarded?
So e.g. just price theory lingers on, despite econ having abandoned it long ago.
