Not sure if you mean the number one defect or just one defect. I'll answer for the number one defect. The people. All the problems can be traced back to the people. The people allowed the government to get out of hand, the people don't get on the government's *** to solve our trade imbalance, the people buy products from walmart which increases China's trade and hurts American business. Without the people America is nothing, but it is their responsibility to look after the well-being of the country and they have failed.

Do you mean a defect of Americans, or a defect of America? If the first, Americans' main defect is being complacent about their own stupidity.
If the second, it's the attitude of entitlement by those who won't take responsibility for themselves and live on government (i.e. other people's) money!

In general, we care little about the world around us. We wonder why people hate us. Envy has a little to do with it, but we don't rise to the responsibility when it comes to having power.
We need to engage more with the rest of the world. people that think that "we are the greatest" need to know why, and be grateful for what we have and not take it for granted. I have found that those who travel and have knowledge about other cultures and other people, are more appreciative and are more sensitive about others needs.
Its all about education. America IS the greatest nation on earth, precisely because we are an open society. we should recognize that we are imperfect try to live up to our ideals. We may never get to perfection, but we should strive to be better than we are.

I don't think that there is one individual defect in the American society. I think it is a conglomerate of all the answers given (in my opinion, George Bush being one of the main defects of America).

The people in the middle of the country are insular and have no sense of humor. They don't have enough interaction with anyone who might be a bit different from themselves.
Oh, and they elected George W.
