But, but, but...Bush!
…That’s the refrain we hear from the Republican candidates, and one that is believed by the Republican Party. That’s why they say we need to vote a Republican into office, so we can put in place some pro-growth policies that get this country back on top again.
Well, the World Economic Forum just released their world competitive ranking, which measures a host of economic data and determines which countries are the most economically competitive. And among countries with populations of 10 million or more the United States was, oh, #1. Among all countries, we’re #3 behind Switzerland and Singapore.

Wow, I am completely persuaded. We need to elect Hillary to continue the Obama policies that have made our economy so successful and competitive.

Good to know that you're "still not a fan" of Obama.

I actually don't think there are too many people who don't realize that the United States is #1 in terms of economic influence in the world. I think what some have said is that we're acting like idiots and allowing other countries to take advantage of us. And we are not maximizing our potential. That sort of thing.

Yes! I'm sure it's only a matter of days before the scandies crumble under the weight of their oppressive banking regulations. Why Sweden's big re-organizing only occurred 25 years ago!

I consider Bill Maher less of a comedian than the good folks on MSNBC.
