US Is Not A Peaceful Nation

We have slipped to No. 101 on the latest "peace index":

“The economic impact of containing the levels of violence cost the U.S. economy $1.7 trillion, or more than 10 percent of the GDP in 2013, translating to more than $5,455 per U.S. citizen,” the index stated.

“Despite a scaled-back military presence overseas, the country’s high degree of militarization, unmatched incarceration rate and an increase in the impact felt from terrorism caused the U.S. to descend into triple digits,” the research said.



Is it too late to move to Canada?
