*In the sale of military weaponry to the rest of the world? Yes, we lead the world.
*In the largest amount of national debt and borrowing? By far.
*In the largest total and per capita prison population? Yes, again the
world leader, far more than even China,
Russia, Cuba and North Korea.
*In per capita murders among the developed nations of the world? Yes, no one is even close.
*In gun ownership? Yes, by a long shot.
*In poverty of its people and the number of food stamp recipients? Yes. Among the developed nations of the world no other country has such serious societal problems.
There is one category in which America is the undisputed leader in the world. It's to be found in a hypocrisy of the highest degree; one that is unmatched because of it's doctrine of: if America does it, then it's just fine and must not be challenged, but if any other nation does it, it's a "moral obscenity" and must be condemned.
Most Americans are finally waking up to the fact that this country is now in a highly regressive state and rapidly proceeding in a direction that is almost exactly the reverse of the one that it should be taking. This government's policies and actions fit the definition of insanity; that is, doing the same things that don't work over and over and, somehow, thinking that the result will be different.
