Yeah; if Mexico's so damned good why are so many people rushing to get north of the border. (tells me something)
“Switzerland, Finland and Sweden are the world’s most competitive economies”
Yeah, like business are stepping all over each other to do business with them. I never did like the varying measurements from country to country that the WEF uses. Hell, even the top 10 countries GDP combined on that list don’t come close to ours. However, there are some countries in that list that do know how to run their economy and the US should, can and does do business with.
This does not mean I indorse neither the WEF nor their GCI measurements. For example; they see things quit differently than we do, like foreign aid. To them the only measurement of foreign aid should be what the government gives, does and accomplishes economically or as charity to other countries. To them the only measurement to use as foreign aid is what the government takes from the populist and redistributes to foreign countries.
We see things a little different. We allow individuals to keep their own money and give as they see fit. This is one reason why the U.S. gives more than all others combined, AS WELL AS A LAGER PERCENTAGE OF OUR GDP.
WHAT??? Yes that right. Most of these organizations out of Switzerland and France like the WEF claim that they give more as a percentage of GDP but in reality they don’t. They only count what the government does. As a mater of fact, all other governments combined (including the US government in that figure) does not match what the US citizens give voluntarily.
