US tied as the 19th least corrupt country. 19/177
Israel is 36, tied with Taiwan.
They must be measuring petty local corruption as opposed to massive institutional corruption...

We’re so good at corruption we have the rest of the world fooled. Heck we even have a president who can’t prove who he is. Damn we’re good..../s
They understate the problem. The corruption in the United States is so systemic and pervasive, it is difficult to identify the quid pro quo.
Because our system is more sophisticated than the simple-minded crooks on the list, doesn’t make our crony-capitalism any less heinous.
As far as I am concerned, this country is number one when it comes to urban government throughout its 50 states, and second only to Mideast Muslim countries as an overall whole when considering the Federal Government.
They must not have factored in the government to have ranked the US so high.
