    Country regains top spot in World Economic Forum rankings thanks to strong economic growth; report says room for improvement on social issues

    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.

    “Economic recovery is well underway, with the global economy projected to grow almost 4% in 2018 and 2019,” said the report, published Tuesday by the organization that produces the Davos conference on global politics and economics.

    If I had to choose between marketing myself (my biz) on:

    1) The US
    2) Europe
    3) Russia

    I'd choose the US. Nothing beats that. Europeans are Scrudges cutting the penny in two.

    Canada and Australia have small populations = bad for business.

    I'm awaiting a nice deal of Euro-hate because of that post. Hate incoming in 1... 2... 3...

    "......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......"

    First time since 2008..... Hmm, imagine that ;)

    I don't care if we have 57 gender pronouns or participation trophies for every snowflake ---- I care about a strong economy.

    US most competitive -- until the bottom falls out again in the next debt-induced recession.

    Maybe then the GOP can show its mettle for once by cleaning up the mess that they caused, instead of leaving it to the Dems.

    When East Germany dissolved...many thought West Germany won.

    I'd posit that East Germany took over the West.

    Democrat operative James Carville coined the phrase "the economy, stupid" while serving as The Rapist's campaign strategist.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_the_economy,_stupid

    Democrats and their criminally complicit mainstream media hacks are now doing everything in their power to downplay the smoking economy for their stupids.

    INTERESTING TAKE. Germany is much freer than East Germany was.

    SOCIALISM SUCKS: How social democracy lost its way: a report from Germany.

    Last year’s defeat came as a shock because of the magnitude of the drop in votes, but it was the continuation of a decades-long erosion of support. With one exception, the party has lost votes at every general election going back 20 years. Since 1998, it has shed half its electorate, and there is no sign the decline has stopped. Some recent polls show the party now being eclipsed not just by Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats but also by the Greens and the far-right Alternative for Germany.

    On Sunday, the party suffered another humiliating defeat in a regional election in Bavaria, where it slumped to just 9.7 per cent of the vote. All of this raises a profound question: can Europe’s oldest social democratic party survive? The answer has implications that resonate far beyond Berlin.​

    It’s hard to survive as a party that sets itself against the nation it wants to govern. Yet socialist “transformations” increasingly involve just that.

    “The 2015 refugee crisis and the political convulsions that followed are a case in point. The SPD backed Merkel’s decision to accept more than a million refugees from crisis countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, despite the evident risk of a political backlash from voters. The decision was right in principle, Schäfer believes, but was poorly explained.”​

    When lefty policies fail, it’s always because they were “poorly explained,” never because they were horrible, destructive ideas that any reasonable person would have rejected out of hand.
