New Hampshire is having an excellent week. It announced its First in the Nation Primary, while CATO and the Fraser Institute declared the Granite State the most Free. CATO ranked NH #1 among US States. Fraser chose NH as the freest place economically in North America.

COVID-19 Vaccinations Are Not a Free Market Victory
In light of Nobel Prizes being given to two researchers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations, beltway establishments like that of the Cato Institute have lauded praises onto the decision. To Cato, as evidenced by a blog post by Ian Vásquez, the production of these vaccines was a “victory of globalization!”
Sun-King Sununu in Washington Examiner … Freedom = Kochism
So I clicked on the link in this tweet from NH-NeverTrumpJournal:
The Ten Worst State’s for Freedom in America … Were Run By Democrats
While we’ve reported New Hampshire’s status as most free in CATO’s latest Freedom in the 50 States, which of our fifty social, cultural, and political laboratories scored the worst? The least free. Would it surprise you to hear the bottom ten are all run by Democrats?
CATO: NH Ranks #2 in the Nation for Economic Freedoms
CATO’s Freedom in the 50 States is out, and as usual, New Hampshire Ranks near the top. This year’s survey put the Granite State at number two for economic and social freedom, behind Florida, but notes that New Hampshire is the most improved state overall.
62% of Americans are Afraid to Share Their Political Views
The Cato Institute has a new survey. It reports that nearly two-thirds of Americans are afraid to share their political views. It is hard to infer anything from the survey except self-censorship is on the rise.
Buying Influence – Who Google has Bought off on the Right
There’s no shortage of content on GraniteGrok about Chinese influence-peddling. They spend money in the US on everything to shape policy and perception. Google does that too, as do most businesses that can afford it, but Google is allegedly buying off voices on the right while the tech Giant works to suppress our speech.
New Hampshire is the 2nd Most Free State In America
For only the sixth time since 2000 CATO has ranked New Hampshire as the second Most Free State in the US. We were number one all the other times. Unfortunately, this is the third year in a row at number two, and while CATO examines that there is still plenty of good news (not that being #2 isn’t good news).
We have some work to do to get back to number one. But before we get to that let’s talk about this
14th Amendment Doesn’t Give Right to a Three-Way?
CATO has submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in which it makes the case that the 14th Amendment prohibits states from denying anyone the right to marry, regardless of gender.
Let’s Be Clear On Why Democrats Want To Kill The School Scholarship Program
In April of last year I pointed out what appeared obvious to me. That the small business school scholarship program, eventually passed into law last year–the one New Hampshire Democrats are trying to repeal–could actually save the towns and the state money.
In Merrimack the actual ‘on-paper’ cost per student is well over $14,000.00 each.; total enrollment of 4700 (ish) divided by our roughly 65+ million dollar school budget. If a parent can only take $3,450.00 per child, ($2500.00 average) then the town is still getting paid $11,000.00 dollar per child with no child left to teach.
To see how that looks if we borrow the formula the Super’s letter…
COPUPPSE (Cost of Over-priced Under Performing Public School Education) – PTPR (Pittance of Tuition Parent Receives) = JPSS (Jackpot for Public School System)
Well guess what. Someone on the CATO Institute Blog yesterday, asked Governor Hassan why–if Governor Hassan wants to save taxpayers money–would she also want to repeal a scholarship program that saves taxpayers money on the cost of education?
