Why? Because economic freedom is inversely proportional to the size of your government. And government continues to grow at an alarming pace.”

“The government takeover of health care is a significant loss of freedom,” said the senator. “In fact, I would argue that Obamacare involves the largest loss of freedom of choice in 50 years.”

It isn’t just the laws that are passed – when regulators are churning out 10s of thousands of pages of regulations that make the economic decisions, that takes more and more Choice away from us.

At what point do we stand up and say “Enough – we are adults so stop treating us like underage wards”.  With his Socialist regime, do you think Obama will continue our slide or would he reverse his direction so that we can reclaim the spot we should have?
