Tl;dr
Greatest economy in the world
Strongest military in the world
The "poor" in America live better than the middle class in the vast majority of the rest of the world.
If I recall correctly, you live in Asia somewhere where women lure American men into marrying them so they can move to the United States? Isn't that telling. They all want to come to America.
Strongest military in the world - absolutely
Greatest economy in the world? perhaps if you're wealthy or well connected your quality of life is probably great in America
Housing market currently has investors accounting for over 20% of homes bought, and of those, they disproportionately focused on starter homes. If you earn an average salary, investors are pricing you out to flip
Social security has too many baby boomers, if you're paying into this fund most likely you'll have nothing to show for it when it's time for you to collect (assuming you're around mid 30s early 40s) for me reducing the burden of what I need in my retirement fund by living somewhere with a lower cost of living but still high quality of life is a no brainer
The debt structure in the U.S. is awful. A country like Japan for example borrows against the Yen for the most part, the denominator in which debt is taken out is incredibly important. The U.S. borrows against a basket of other FIAT currencies, they think they're safe from this because of their military status and authority over oil
