An empire without a manufacturing base. An empire that must borrow $2 billion a day from its competitors in order to function. Yet the delusion is ineradicable. We're No. 1. Well ... this is the country you really live in:
The USA is "No. 1" in nothing but weaponry, consumer spending, debt, and delusion
- The United States is 49th in the world in literacy (The New York Times, Dec. 12, 2004).
- The United States ranked 28th out of 40 countries in mathematical literacy (NYT, Dec. 12, 2004).
The USA is "No. 1" in nothing but weaponry, consumer spending, debt, and delusion
Well, actually, I believe the United States does manufacture more than any other country. And it is definitely the largest economy. Still I accept the point that the USA has many things it should improve.
