Strong is always relative to a point in time. Ask anyone a couple of
years ago if they thought the governments in Japan or Indonesia were
strong and they would have said yes. Not so now. Same thing could apply
in the US government down the road.
Japan was also held up by the US as the "evil, protectionist" government
that sheltered their internal industries and kept the "standard of
living" (a.k.a. workers employment and wages) high, which is what is
really being proposed by a number of folks here as the way the US should
operate. Again, didn't seem to work out very well...
