It's fun to poke fun at the system we have in the US, but we're doing fairly well from a numbers standpoint. Our GDP is fantastic, our median income is quite good, and we still manufacture a bunch of stuff.
China didn't actually start to manufacture more than us until just a few years ago, and they have something like three times the population.
People say the middle class is shrinking, but seldom mention that the number of people in the upper class is growing. We have pretty good employment numbers and our securities market is booming.
Many of our businesses are the most profitable in the world. We are still sought out as the place to go for education and starting a business. We have more people trying to come here than we can even accommodate.
So, from a numbers view, we are doing okay. We may not be number one in every category, but we're up there on the list and still doing quite well.
Of course, there's more to life than numbers, but hopefully I expressed it well enough.
