The USA is no longer number one in terms of having a competitive economy. That position now belongs to Singapore with Hong Kong at second place and the USA down at number three. Here is an article on it.

Anyway, if you look at the list Australia is way down at 18, way down on the list. So even if the USA isn't number one, at least its much higher than Australia which is a good thing. Australia should not be a developed country. Australia doesn't deserve to be a developed country.

What's with knocking Australia? I'm sure they have their issues, but so does America.

Because people often like to compare the USA with Australia.

That does not explain your assertation. Why do we not deserve to be a developed country? What have we done or not done?

Well much of this has to do with the way people compare the USA and Australia in terms of politics. I don't want this to become a political discussion but if Australia was an undeveloped country than people wouldn't be able to compare the USA and Australia from a political standpoint.

Thank you for posting the link. That being said, commenting on Australia has to be the most random part of the whole deal that probably only you thought was interesting enough to note. lol

At the rate of our decline we'll soon be comparing ourselves to Venezuela or Syria to look good.

Oz and the USA are very different in many ways, including economically.

I’m sure the 25 million Aussies are really worried about that.
