According to the brochure it does everything . May as well use it as a drop ship so you can deliver troops in style . Might be worth taking the brochure as less literal than it is until we get some actual solid information about it . <| sep |> That is just the US . The world is more than just the US . For the world as a whole wage growth has a c c e l e r a t e d i n t h e g lobalwaronpovertyProgress in the global war on povertyAlmost unnoticed , the world has reduced poverty , increased incomes , and improved health more than at any time in history . WASHINGTON The headlines on any given day suggest a world under siege . War . Terrorism . Refugees . Disease . Recession . Famine . Climate change . But beneath these often very real problems , something remarkable has been happening , something on a more epochal level that has gone almost completely unnoticed . Global poverty has fallen faster during the past 20 years than at any time in history . Around the world hunger , child death , and disease rates have all plummeted . More girls are getting into school . In fact , never before have so many people , in so many poor countries , made so much progress in reducing poverty , increasing incomes , improving health , reducing conflict and war , and spreading democracy . Some of these gains especially the declines in poverty and child mortality rank among the greatest achievements in history . Yet few people are aware that they are even happening . Most people believe that , apart from a few special cases such as China and India , developing countries by and large remain hopelessly mired in poverty , stagnation , and dictatorship . Yet the reality is quite different A major transformation is quietly under way , affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of people in nearly every corner of the world .

Social welfare spending has increased 4 . 8 % per year since 1972 . Welfare spending has increased 4 . 1 % per year . This is AFTER adjusting for inflation . This signifies a massive shift to economydestroying socialism . This era of expanding social democracy has coincided with slowing productivity growth in the US s o u r c e s r ealwagestagnationbosworth
