Not as much as you think.
In addition, I have gotten real tired of that BS Canard. Why not try it? Many of our unique “solutions” are dragging us down. Time to try things that have worked elsewhere, at least for a starting point. The US is exceptional in only 3 ways. By our ability to absorb and integrate others from foreign nations, our flexibility, and our willingness to try new ideas.
I would go as far to say your attitude on this is weakening America. Time to start taking ideas from elsewhere and trying them. I have heard the excuse you just gave in less reputable circles in wanting to weaken welfare and health care as well, so you might want to reconsider that position.
