Here's the main reason that Singapore is completely incomparable to the U.S.
No babies, no old people.. just healthy, happy middle aged people at the peak of their health.
Here is the United States:
More babies, more old people.. and just lots and lots more people in general.
Then in Europe, which experienced a similar "middle age bulge" until recently, is beginning to suffer from the boom of babies followed by a prolonged bust.
In Germany, the babies born leading up to WWII, to be Hitler's new generation, are getting into their 70s, and they are more numerous than babies today.
In 25 years, Singapore will be spending a lot more of its GDP on health care, I can guarantee you that!
Taiwan and South Korea are headed in the same direction
