We are not number one

 The New York Times has a great article this morning by Nicolos Kristoff.  Probably misspelled his name, but you get the idea. He makes a very interesting case about how our country has fallen behind. If you have a problem the first thing is to acknowledge it. If you are fat admit it to yourself, if you drink too much admit it to yourself, if you eat too much sugar admit it. Of course Kadizzle can admit his failures, but he never can overcome them. Now look at the country. We are losing, the rich have raped the country and we are behind. However, Republicans are selling the old delusion " Were number one". It just ain't so.  The United States has some serious problems, gun violence, child healthcare, illiteracy, on, and on. Yet we refuse to address these problems while we spend ten times more than any other country on defense.  We are in decline. Recognize it, or elect some more Trumps to lie to you.
