Just saw a Trump ad on TV. "America is Great" or something close to it. Trump is a bit wrong. We lead the world in but THREE things: The number of incarcerated people, many of whom are black and have been busted for 40 or 50 years for Drugs. "JUST SAY NO" and the DEA, formed around 1972, don't work all that well. But the pay for the DEA'ers is great, so too the benefits, the healthcare, the pensions and the job security. How nice, for them. But you want some booze? Damn near every corner has a store; it's the last legal drug in the country.
Number Two: The number of adults who believe in angels.
Number Three: DEFENSE SPENDING. We spend more than 26 other nations, 25 of whom are our allies.
