Jeff Daniels: “America is NOT the Greatest Country in the World”

Celebrity Jeff Daniels:

“There’s absolutely no evidence to support the statement that America is the greatest country in the world.  We’re 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science,  49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number 4 in labor force, and number 4 in exports.  We lead the world in only 3 categories: Number of incarcerated citizens per capita,  number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined – 25 of whom are allies.  Now none of this is the fault of a twenty year old college student but you are nonetheless a member of the Worst. Generation. Ever.  So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.” – Jeff Daniels
