This is a sad report card. The US is close to the bottom of the heap on this report card produced by OECD. Its a report card that has produced the OWS protests. Unfortunately, many will claim that the report card is flawed, and that the high achieving countries at the top of the pile are terrible places to live, equality and social justice are over rated. We have more hand guns per capita than any country in the world and the most powerful military in history. We also have the largest prison system in the world that we are making more efficient by outsourcing it to private enterprise. American exceptionalism is alive and well.
Since the report card is quite busy, and many of your acquaintances that you may want to discuss it with, do not have a lot of time to waste on such nonsense, you can tell them that its better to have more grey than red on the report card.
