It has it's problems, but look at it this way:
Third largest employer in the world.
18th out of 191 countries according to the WHO. Yes, it should be
higher but it's not as abysmal as people would like to think
Free health care to something like 97% of the population. Few other
countries have this.
I'm sure there are plenty of other numbers that we can use to argue
we're looking at a serious world player, even if it's not "the envy of
the world" that politicians love to claim. |
