America's Vanishing Economic Freedom | Michael D. Tanner | Cato Institute: Commentary

America's Vanishing Economic Freedom | Michael D. Tanner | Cato Institute: Commentary: "For 20 years the U.S. had consistently ranked as one of the world’s three freest economies, along with Hong Kong and Singapore. By the end of the Bush presidency, we were barely in the top ten."

"As recently as 2005, the U.S. ranked 45th in size of government among the 144 nations surveyed. That was bad enough, but it still had us in the top third of the 144 countries surveyed. Today, government has grown dramatically, and our ranking has fallen to 61st place."
