The Decline of America: Children


"The U.S. ratio of school age children per teacher (23 to 1) is worse
than 18 other counties including Libya, East Germany, Lebanon, and
Cuba

"Although the U.S. ranks 2nd in the world in per capita gross national
product, the country ranks 19th in the world in infant mortality rate,
and 29th in low birth-weight babies. Our child poverty rate is higher
than Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, West Germany, Canada, the United
Kingdom, and Australia.

"The U.S. in not among the 61 nations that provide health insurance or
basic medical coverage to all parents and their dependents, nor is it
among the 63 nations that provide a family allowance to working
parents."
