A pet peeve of mine is when people say the US is the richest country in the world.

NOTHING could be further from the truth!

we are actually a POOREST country in the world. Our national debt is 36 trillion.

Anyone who thinks we are rich also believes those who live McMansions and drive fancy cars but are drowning in debt are rich.

36 trillion in debt

“””also believes those who live McMansions and drive fancy cars but are drowning in debt are rich.”””

It does seem like a better version of poverty than a trailer park and taking the city bus to work.
