Replace “broadband” with everything from education and healthcare, through infrastructure and a dozen other words, and you’re still right. I don’t understand it either.
Education and healthcare are of high quality in the US, generally speaking. They are just super expensive.

Oh man, those still hold up too. “In principle yes, but unfortunately nobody here has the education to be sure.”
The belief in American exceptionalism isn't limited to just positives.
