Allow me to offer some fairly recent available facts (within the last couple of years):
America is 7th in literacy,
27th in math,
22nd in science,
49th in life expectancy,
169th in infant mortality,
3rd in household income,
4th in labor force and
4th in exports.
We are, however, number one in incarcerated adults per capita and number one in defense spending. So definitionally, do we sound like the greatest country in the world anymore?
