USA Falls to Last Place Again!

I'm not sure I understand what is meant by "the United States of America is the most powerful nation in the world" when in fact, the united States of America falls to near last place in health care for its citizens, and falls behind in technology to countries who realize that, it means work, jobs, and paid tax bills to legalize cannabis.
About time to just realize that a substance as harmless as marijuana is inevitably the better choice in home entertainment, too.
Of course there's a list as long as your arm of Big Business Industries that DON'T want it legalized, because their profits will be compromised.
And they pay dearly to government to keep it illegal.
