subject: A Report Card On This Generation's American Politicians [print this page] A recent article in Newsweek magazine rated the top countries in the world in which to live. Twenty years ago, the United States would have been the hands down winner. Our economy was strong, the communist threat was ending, we were probably the freest nation in the world. We were the economic, cultural, military, moral, and athletic powerhouse of the world. Today, according to the Newsweek article, we rank 11th out of the best places to live in the world.

From first to 11th in twenty years. Imagine where we will rank in another twenty years if we allow this generation of politicians to propagate further.
