The U.S. economy sits atop of the World Economic Forum's annual global competitiveness survey for the first time since

the 2007-2009 financial crisis, benefiting from a new ranking methodology this year, the Swiss body said.

The U.S. beat off Singapore, Germany, Switzerland and Japan, the other top four markets, with a score of 85.6 out of 100, the report said, due to its "vibrant" entrepreneurial culture and "strong" labor market and financial system

The World Economic Forum, the same organization that runs the Davos meeting of global powerbrokers each January, bases its rankings of 140 economies on a dozen drivers of competitiveness, including a country's institutions and the policies that help drive productivity.

This year the WEF changed its methodology to better account for future readiness for competition, such as a country's idea generation, entrepreneurial culture, and the number of businesses that disrupt existing markets.

The last time the U.S. topped the list was 2008.

The WEF said it was too early to factor in how the Trump administration's recent trade policies would affect its ranking.

SHHHHHHHHHH!  You're not supposed to be saying things like that.  Might sound like America is Great again and we can't have that with a Mid-Term election coming up.  It's doom and gloom we have to talk about, or at least manufacturer, bad news.  We have to promote stories about Stormy Daniels abuse and appointing such a woman abusing Judge to the Supreme Court, or talk about how Trump is so cruel and mean for going to deport and refuse entry to the hundreds/thousands of illegal migrants making their way to the US now.  

Ohhh Snap!  wait a minute there is no gloom and doom to talk about, most of the manufactured stuff has been disproven already, the Judge dismissed Stormy's suit and told her to pay Trump's attorney bills (guess a new "Fund Me" page will be created soon), Kavanaugh has been appointed and Mrs. Ford's allegations have been all but disproven or at least put in extreme doubt, and one only has to wonder how all these hundred/thousand illegals are being fed and taken care of on their long trek?  Say maybe Soros money?  Interesting that they are starting their trek just in time for the Mid-Terms isn't it?  

Preach it, Brother ... MAGA is working and the MSM is going bonkers trying to find ways to omit Trump's victories and the good things that are happening and being attributed to him.  Just as much difficulty in ignoring the good as there is in finding bad to attribute to him.

Since 2008,,,, I wonder how that happened---??

Let's see, What happened between 2008 and Trump (2016)?  Oh yeah, Democrats were in control and making things happen.  Things like Health Insurance premiums going up double or more, things like Insurance deductibles, (The money that comes straight out of your pocket BEFORE Insurance ever comes into effect and considers paying) going up as much as quadrupling.  Barry Obama being elected President.  Let's see and wonder just why between Trump and 2008 things went South/Bad real fast.  I just wonder? 

Well if Americans get tired of all this "America being Great Again" then come Mid-Term elections they can go to the polls and vote Democrat again.  If Republican they can decide to stay home and not vote to allow Democrats the ability to potentially win back the House and Senate and then we can return to the grand ole days of Barry Obama's policies and Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.  Who needs all this progress and growing economy and low unemployment anyways?
