First time in a decade!

U.S. Is World’s Most Competitive Economy for First Time in a Decade

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...

The WSJ article is behind a paywall, but according to the report, this was the first year using a new set of metrics, so it may be a bit difficult to compare this year to previous rankings. Except for one year where we were are #7, were were in the top 5 of the old rankings every year since 2008.

Thanks Obama!

Thanks Obama!

Obama didn't build that.

Obama didn't build that.

Trump certainly didn't.

I'm interested to see how these numbers change once they factor in the new tariffs.

Obama didn't build that.

Neither did Trump.

On topic, I remain skeptical of any system that ranks Japan in the top 5.

Trump did it by releasing the economy from its shackles.

Not by himself, no.

Trump helped it by undoing Obama's policies.

Trump poured gasoline on a fire and your country, and sadly the rest of the world, will pay for it in about 2 years...and just to clarify I am not talking in any way about the next presidential election.

Dems keep saying Trump's policies will spell disaster for the economy. They've been saying that since before he was elected in 2016. But when they are proven wrong they give credit to Obama even though what we are seeing with the economy is after Trump reversed Obama's polices.

haha lol, what shackles? The shackles that made us recover faster than other countries?

Yeah, tariffs are wonderful for competitiveness.

It's a pity no one seems to take a survey, or have an interest in, which is the most cooperative country in the world.

Did he undo the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act?

Trump is also winning there.

The goats and I are not tired of winning yet.

Substantiate your claim...

See what you think when Trump enacts a goat tariff.

Substantiate your claim...

[expos4ever]

Agree. People here on both sides are making claims without substantiating them.
