I’m not one to usually delve into politics on my blog, so linking to an article by Glenn Beck might seem a bit odd.
But this article titled “What’s right with America? Plenty” really hits home.
It’s not about politics, but rather looking at what America has going for it rather than spending time on what’s wrong, as we more commonly do these days.
An excerpt:
Our economy is almost as big as the next four largest economies on Earth (Japan, Germany, China and Great Britain) combined. The state of California alone has an economy as large as the entire country of France. Illinois has the same GDP as all of Mexico. New York matches the entire GDP of Brazil. Florida’s economy is as large as South Korea’s. Texas has a GDP roughly equal to Canada’s. Michigan’s economy is as large as the entire country of Argentina.
And that’s just about the economy. It’s a good read, and refreshing outlook on the state of affairs in the US.
Slightly worse than awesome isn’t as bad as we make it out to be.
Dido.
