Too strong a statement, IMO. I assume you mean "failed state", which has a specific meaning.  However you should consider moving "NSA spying on everybody" into the fail category. Fear comes from insecurity. Like the paranoia that leads to thinking everyone is a threat and must be controlled. Successful, healthy governments trust their people and represent them. Dictatorships spy on their people.

I also think Obama care is in no way a fail. Our healthcare system has consistently ranked dead last in the developed world. We pay far more for drugs and every medical service. Then we receive far less care for that money. It's not single payer yet, but at least we are trying to build something that measures up to the rest of the world.

I think the question needs to be broken into two.

Is the US government a failed experiment? Yes. Absolutely. It began as a Republic, today many believe it is a democracy, but the reality is that it is an oligarchy. The purpose of the US Constitution was to keep government limited, and that failed. The US government is now one of the largest, most dangerous entities to humanity.

Are the people of America a failed experiment? No. Americans have taken humanity further than we ever thought was imaginable. Not only that, there are still a large minority of Americans who are intelligent (surprisingly), driven, hard-working, and innovative, and it will be these individuals that will create pragmatic, profitable, solutions to the failure that is the State.

This is perfect.
Amen

No way America is a failed nation. Of course the American system has some weaknesses but compaired to other countries' they are much smaller and America will take care of them in due time. Don't worry mate America will not fail.

They all compare themselves to America because America is very good at marketing and has created a good image about itself.

I don't think America has failed.  However, I think America has a lot of big problems and has a long way to go to fix them.  Most other countries also have big problems as well, many with much bigger problems.

it's not america it's the whole fiat garbage system that is a fail, the infinite printing the fraction reserve and all those crap that only increase the debts by trying to solve the other old debts

but it's also the only system that work easily and permit a huge liquidity for the government

A failed nation in my opinion, is a place where you not allowed to walk free and make a living. There are nations where all actions of people daily lives are governed by

the government. {The way you communicate and the way you act in public} I would much rather live in America than say North Korea or the Middle East. Yes, America

has some major challenges and it's economy is one aspect of it, but it succeeds in many other areas, and that's what is important. {Live Free}

I don't think america as a failed nation. If it is a failed nation, why most people talk about various incidents talking place in america.
Why they all compare their countries growth along with america in terms of economy, education as well technology.
