We’re number one! We’re number one! America is number one, but not for the things we should be.
According to nationmaster.com the United States is #1 for:
- Oil Consumption
- Assault by Rifle, Shotgun or Larger Firearm
- Drunk Neighbors
- Death by Reptile
- Car Thefts
- Obesity
- Divorce Rate
- Defense Budget
- Television Viewing
- External Debt (Owed to Other Countries)
Here is where we rank in a few things that matter:
- 15th – Infrastructure
- 32nd – Air Transportation Infrastructure, behind Panama and Malaysia
- 18th – Port Infrastructure
- 22nd – Rail Infrastructure
- US Students rank 32nd in Math
- US Students rank 17th in Reading
As Dean Wormer said, “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.”
