WE'RE NOT #1


We know that our health care system is not anywhere near the best in the world, but now we're starting to slip in other areas as well. Check this out ...


Europe has emerged as the richest region in the world, pushing North America, where wealth has declined by more than 20 percent due to the economic crisis, off the top spot, a study has shown ... North America's wealth, measured in assets under management, plummeted by 21.8 percent, the steepest decline in the world. A lesser fall was registered in Europe, where assets shrunk by 5.8 percent compared to last year, down to €22.2 trillion – a quarter of the globe's total wealth.
Do we have foam fingers that say "We're #2"?
