The U.S. is back on top as the most competitive country in the world, regaining the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2008 in an index produced by the World Economic Forum, which said the country could still do better on social issues.
America climbed one place in the rankings of 140 countries, with the top five rounded out by Singapore, Germany, Switzerland and Japan. All five countries’ scores rose from 2017, with the U.S. notching the second-biggest gain after Japan’s.
Since 2008???
Hmmmm. What happened in 2008?
“…World Economic Forum, which said the country could still do better on social issues.”
Founded in 1971. Another top-down, globalist org whose stated mission is to “improve the state of the world.”

Does anyone know this organization and it’s agenda?
It’s just astounding what the president has accomplished , and in such a short time.
What’s more astounding {and depressing} is that he doesn’t have a strong majority in this country behind him for the job he’s done.
If this doesn’t bring this country together than nothing will.
gin blossom – He does have a strong majority behind him, we just aren’t in congress. Yet.
So tired of winning. President Trump was right.
(yawn) So tired…
I can personally attest to the personal and brutal economic hit that began in 2008 because of Obama’s election. NEVER had trouble finding quality (and fun!) work before. EVER! I applied for hundreds and hundreds of jobs during Obama’s marxist reign. But just this past summer I began to make as much money a month as I did at my old job that I had for a decade that ended ten years ago. Good thing we moved when we did. My position was terminated six months later. Been the toughest decade of my life. Yet I did stumble across this little iOTWREPORT gem a few years back while taking a break from applying for jobs so good always comes out of the bad. And what came out of the bad was sure damn good indeed!
Your success is not because of racist orange man. It is because greatest black president to ever walk the earth. Wait for blue wet wave takeover on November 7th. Your orange man will be lame duck.
^^^^^
Love it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My 401k & IRA are up and going up.

@ecp: Stop it! You’re making me hungry for Orange Peking Duck.

Umm, Obama didn’t take office until 2009. Try again.
Umm, DUH, JLarson. We know 0bama took office in 2009. However, his election started to affect the economy in late 2008 and that was 0bama sitting in the oval for 8 years afterwards, leaving our economy regressing to a stand-still. But, continue to be obsessed over ‘2008’ anyhow. I’d ask you to ‘try again’ but what’s the point? LOL
