Don't Worry, Be Happy

COTTonLINE's favorite demographer, Joel Kotkin, has written a world overview for New Geography. He concludes that North America - Canada, the United States, and Mexico - are the clear winners. See his conclusion:
If things are so good, why do they seem so bad? Sixteen years of lackluster leadership has not helped – a succession of two spendthrift presidents. (snip) Yet I prefer to see it in a more positive light: If we can do better than our major competitors under such leadership, how great a country is this?
You need to read his column to see why Kotkin believes the U.S. is ahead of the game, the place to be in the coming decades.

The other DrC and I have traveled much of the world, over 100 countries at last count. As much as we've enjoyed those other countries, there really is no place like the good, old U.S. of A. We remark on that fact every time we return from abroad.
