The U.S. is slightly less corrupt than it used to be

An anti-corruption watchdog released its latest annual rankings of global corruption Wednesday, with nations such as Somalia, North Korea, Afghanistan and Sudan topping the list as states with the most corruption.
The 2015 rankings, published by Transparency International, measure perceived levels of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 to 100. The index is based on expert opinions of public sector corruption, looking at a range of factors like whether governmental leaders are held to account or go unpunished for corruption, the perceived prevalence of bribery, and whether public institutions respond to citizens' needs.

This year's list found that 68% of countries "have a serious corruption problem," including half of the G20. Countries including Greece, Senegal, and the United Kingdom have improved since 2012. Others, such as Australia, Brazil, Libya, Spain and Turkey are more corrupt than they were four years ago.

The least corrupt nation was Denmark. The U.S. rose one spot this year to 16th place with a score of 76, tying with Austria. The UK rose three spots to place 10th, with a score of 81 that tied it with Germany and Luxembourg. The other top spots, from second to ninth, were occupied by Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Singapore and Canada.
Russia sat in 119th place, tied with Azerbaijan, Guyana and Sierra Leone. Brazil, in the midst of a massive corruption scandal at the state-owned oil company Petrobras, posted the biggest decline, falling five points and dropping seven positions to 76th place.
"The 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index clearly shows that corruption remains a blight around the world," said Transparency International head Jose Ugaz. "But 2015 was also a year when people again took to the streets to protest corruption — people across the globe sent a strong signal to those in power: it is time to tackle grand corruption."

Government is doing pretty freaking good here in America! Honest government, good employment, low gas and real leadership!!!
