Improvements in: roads, bus routes, and MRT routes ease traffic congestion for both vehicle and people movements.

Singapore’s Public Enemy Number One is Mosquitoes. Normally in a tropical country a home would have screens installed on each window to stop the free flow of bugs and pests, but in Singapore is is highly unusual to see a home or apartment or work environment with screens on windows. Singapore is not totally mosquito free, but is closer to being free than anywhere on earth with similar climate conditions.

Because of the planned greenery of Singapore and further improvements in parks and recreation such as: bike routes and running paths, picnic areas—all contribute to more ways to de-stress from the hectic life of the usual daily routine or work week.

In general the service level of the public sector usually exceeds key performance standards in all other countries. The term “red tape” is one where the public sector works hard to identify and eliminate. For Singapore has a true competitive edge in the public sector that assists overseas firms to quickly become operationally productive in Singapore.

Even when the supply of rental homes, apartments, offices and warehouses are in over supply or when speculation begins to arise in certain real estate sectors the government can adjust policies to protect all parties to a transaction.

Mr. David Knowles, a writer for AOL is credited with this brief explanation on the rise of Singapore and the decline of the USA.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that espouses a free-market, small-government ideology, today released its annual Index of Economic Freedom World Rankings. And by its metrics, America’s status has dropped from “free” to “mostly free.”

Ranking countries throughout the world in 10 categories, the index concludes that the United States is now the eighth most economically free nation, down two spots from last year. Hong Kong ranked No. 1, while North Korea, which was categorized as “repressed,” took the bottom rung.

Only seven countries actually rated as “free” on the index, which was released in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal.

The largest factor in the Heritage Foundation’s demotion of the U.S. is the rise in government spending, especially under the Obama administration.

“The national government’s role in the economy, already expanding under President George W. Bush, has grown sharply under the administration of President Barack Obama, who took office in January of 2009,” the report read. “Economic growth, which collapsed in 2008, had resumed by the second half of 2009, but legislative proposals for large and expensive new government programs on health care and energy use (climate change) have increased prospects for significant economic disruptions and raised concerns about the long-term health of the economy.”

Beating out the United States in terms of economic freedom were, in descending order: Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Switzerland and Canada.
