In Praise of Prosperity

Quote of the Day: Among industrialized nations, the United States is at the bottom in functional literacy, even as only about a quarter of Americans graduate from college. Despite spending twice as much per capita on healthcare as most developed countries, only Ireland and Denmark have lower life expectancies. We’re number one in the percentage of population without access to healthcare. One of eight Americans don’t survive to reach age 60, which leaves us at the bottom of the pile in terms of life expectancy in the developed world. — Joshua Holland
