Not the Change we were Hoping for!

Gateway Pundit and Cafe Hayek discuss the falling rating of the United States on the Index of Economic Freedom.

For the first time, the US is not considered (economically) free...

What is economic freedom?
Economic freedom is the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labor and property. In an economically free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please, with that freedom both protected by the state and unconstrained by the state. In economically free societies, governments allow labor, capital and goods to move freely, and refrain from coercion or constraint of liberty beyond the extent necessary to protect and maintain liberty itself.

Wonder what could have changed...
