    Internet in America



    This is a national disgrace! South Korea has faster internet speeds than us. Are Americans unwilling to invest in better infrastructure for the internet?

    It's simple math - what we should be spending on infrastructure, roads, bridges, telecommunications, etc. we're busy spending on wars and entitlements.

    Many developed nations have faster internet speeds than we do. In 2003, the US was #10.

    South Korea is one of the countries with the fastest internet speeds of the world. Japan also has one of the fastest.
