Numbers from 2019 - Will the 2020s be the best of times or the worst of times?
As you ponder that question, here are 50 numbers from 2019 that are almost too crazy to believe
#1 According to a Gallup poll that was just released, Barack Obama and Donald Trump came in tied for the most admired man in America this year. They both got 18 percent in the survey, and no other man had more than 2 percent.
#2 At 10 percent, Michelle Obama topped the list in the Gallup poll for the most admired woman in America this year.
#3 Global stocks have increased in value by more than 25 trillion dollars over the past 10 years.
#4 In the United States, 84 percent of all stocks are owned by the wealthiest 10 percent of all Americans.
#5 The U.S. government is now more than 23 trillion dollars in debt.
