In the dark Dean, I do not know where you are looking up your info but you must have been in the sun to long. I have searched this subject over a few different search engines. The best I can find is US ranks 8th and that is not accounting for our ss retirement which in 10 years our govt. system will not be able to pay, or govt. health care which is in the same boat. The average is about 14th and the low is about 19th our 20th. I am not into your spinning it the way you want it so it comes out in your advantage. I am not a member of either party and think they are the same in the long run. But just be honest when your going to spew that cr*p in the Estes boards because we will bash you for being dishonest.
