USA #1? 40 Embarrassing "Bests"

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At

Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just “tweaking” a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.
With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at….
#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.
#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.
#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.
#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year – the most in the world.
#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.
#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person householdson the entire planet.

So is the USA #1?
Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.
The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.
Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.
We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.
America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.
Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.
Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.
