GENEVA — The U.S. has tumbled further down a global ranking of the world's most competitive economies, landing at fifth place because of its huge deficits and declining public faith in government, a global economic group said Wednesday.

The announcement by the World Economic Forum was the latest bad news for the Obama administration, which has been struggling to boost the sinking U.S. economy and lower an unemployment rate of more than 9 percent.

Switzerland held onto the top spot for the third consecutive year in the annual ranking by the Geneva-based forum, which is best known for its exclusive meeting of luminaries in Davos, Switzerland, each January.

Singapore moved up to second place, bumping Sweden down to third. Finland moved up to fourth place, from seventh last year. The U.S. was in fourth place last year, after falling from No. 1 in 2008.

More proof that the United States is not number 1 as so many of you conservatives claim.

Laugh all you want but it was the Republicans who cut funding to support levee maintenance and much of the infrastructure that would have saved hundreds of American lives.

New Orleans has long been a "dank hole" as well. :D What do DC, New Orelans and Harare have in common? ???

Anyway, funding was cut only to weaken the levees so Rove could deliver the coup de grace just before the storm hit.

Hope and Change is what BO promised, he's a failure just like Biden and Hillary said he would be.

The USA is a far better place to live than Singapore or Sweden, trust me you wouldn't like Singapore after a few months. Ever noticed how only liberals think declining faith in gov is the problem, its not faith its the extreme left and right, everyone else is caught in the middel? Thanks to both parties the debt is a real problem.
