The united states could spark a rural revival like you're talking about with investment into the healthcare and education infrastructure in those communities. That's what other countries do to prop up the rural economy- the steady lifelong jobs created for all the people who work at the schools, clinics, the library, provide an economic base for the town.
That has never been a part of the American experiment. Structured development like that has yet to happen in the United States.
True, although the New Deal era came close. America's most socialist time when it did the most public investment, and we are STILL living off the benefits of that.
