“But the country’s prime ministers are changing so often, it’s no longer a good indication of their mental status.” He claimed a patient had once responded “I haven’t watched the news today”, after being asked the question.
"In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of." Confucius

There will always be poverty and wealth, so no shame should come from their existence. A country well governed provides a well worn path from poverty to wealth. The absence of that path or the presence of too many weeds in the way is what should shame. A lot of poison ivy has grown on the American path lately. We need a weed wacker. Who has the weed wacker?
Wealth is nothing to be ashamed of in a mentally healthy country, i.e. a country in which the id of I want what you have and I resent like hell that you have more than me is superseded by the super ego, the internal governor that accepts boundaries.
