  Yeah, that’s something Trump would tweet. Just the first sentence, without any context at 3 in the morning.

  So advanced it doesn’t need universal health care or 60% of the population lives from paycheck to paycheck and have no savings in case of emergency. Not to mention definitely no rampant drug issues.

  It certainly doesn’t seem that way, but I think when people say this they are referring to GDP, which does show the US as the highest.

      Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

      The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

      They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

      Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can’t help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing.”

      “That’s not true”, responded the second economist. “We increased the GDP by $200!”
