The data speaks for itself -- at least until our binge borrowing catches up with us and these percentages adjust over time. You have an exception with Singapore. It is an isolated city state benefiting in large part to its location in the bustling Asian trade market. Because of its size, it is useless to invest large quantities of capital in certain sectors (military and defense) come to mind. Not sure how their social services compare though.
