US v. World (GDP and Population)

Here's the quick numerical breakdown:

As of 4/14/08

Population
the U.S. population is: 303,849,507
the world population is: 6,661,203,300

Gross domestic product:
the U.S. GDP is: $13.201819 trillion
the total world GDP is: $48.24879 trillion

U.S. percentage of world population: 4.56%
U.S. percentage of world GDP: 27.364%

27.364 divided by 4.56= 6

U.S. GDP per capita: $43,448.54
World GDP per capita: $7,242.67

Yay, U.S.A.: U.S.A.! U.S.A! U.S.A!

Actually, Luxembourg's got us beat. As of a 2004 estimate, by 2009, their GDP per capita (PPP, i.e. purchasing power parity, in international dollars) will be $85,321.76. Dang!
