US has dozens of closest allies.

With all of America's friends punching above their weight, it's no wonder the economy is floating along on hot air. Someone needs new script writers in the White House. I like some of these investigative programmes that are popping up on public TV stations, and the fact that they are finding way to build audiences outside their own country. Denmarks Radio did it with this story. Shame that a show on Dutch TV called the Rekenkamer only deals with very domestic financial scandals.
