Racing to the bottom
Among developed nations, we’re now “average” in education, a “C” student so-to-speak. Not much consolation that we’re just ahead of Mexico and Turkey. And our life expectancy has fallen for the first time in 25 years. On the good news side, at least we are no longer leading the world in carbon dioxide emissions, China now has that dubious role…no wait, mixed blessing, that’s due to the fact that China may soon surpass us in manufacturing.
Well at least we are still #1 in national debt!
