Hello....Have you not looked at the poverty and unemployment figures in the USA???

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said the fate of democracy in North Africa and the Middle East depends on building economies that help the youth of those nations.

“The success of these emerging democracies will hinge on building strong and inclusive economies that improve people’s lives, especially the lives of young people,” Geithner said in a statement during the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington today. International financial institutions “will be central” to that effort, he said.
