Agree - I picked those for the headline to create interest. But I trust Canada and they are 6% above us, along with a lot of other developed countries that I think have as honest or better stats than us.
I thought it worrisome that the US was only .1% better off than Greece, the next down on the list. We might really be quite a bit worse off than Greece if their stats are more honest than ours have gotten to be since 1980.
