Fraser Nelson of The Spectator did some number crunching recently and found
a shocking fact: Britain is poorer than every State in the USA but one.
As Nelson wrote on August 22, “if Britain were to somehow leave the EU and
join the US … we’d be the 2nd-poorest state in the union, poorer than
Missouri. Poorer than the much-maligned Kansas and Alabama. Poorer than any
state other than Mississippi, and if you take out the south east we’d be
poorer than that too.”... 阅读全帖 |

The richest people on Earth became a bit poorer this year.

first annual decline for the daily wealth index since its 2012 debut.

Obama assumed office in difficult economic times. After a couple of years
of excuses -- which included "the problems were worse than we knew" and the
generic, all-purpose "it's Bush's fault" -- Obama now owns the original
problems and new ones of his own doing. An incomplete report card on his "
