Economic Freedom Is Shrinking

The Heritage Foundation recently released it's 2010 Index of Economic Freedom. Not surprisingly, the United States has fallen from #6 to #8. CANADA has more economic freedom than we do!!

Even more disparaging are President Obama's comments today re: Bank Regulations. He wants to chip even more of that economic freedom away by regulating how large banks can get and stopping banks from proprietary trading, i.e.-hedge funds. This is in addition to his plan for a special tax on banks to pay for TARP. The tax will apply to all banks even those that didn't participate in TARP.
November 2010 can't come fast enough. I hope Republicans have learned their lesson on spending and regulating.
