Is the US #1. I'm not so sure

It's funny how Obama once proclaimed that people who believed that the US is the greatest country in the world were somehow Jingoistic. Seven years after he "fundamentally transformed" the country into something better............more people are leaving.

I was talking to my sister one time and she used the term "the scale don't lie" when I asked her if I looked as heavy as the scale reported.

Well, using that same euphemism, here's one scale that says maybe The US ain't what is used to be........

A total of 508 Americans renounced their citizenship in the second quarter of the year, according to information published by the Internal Revenue Service, putting the country on track to lose at least the second highest number of citizens on record. 

That brings the total number of expatriates for the year to 1,666, according to data published on Friday, just below the 1,795 who renounced during the same period in 2015. Yet because the number of expatriates tends to increase toward the end of the year, 2016 could still set another record for the number of Americans it sends packing. A total of 4,279 left over the duration of 2016, a new annual record.
