Labour outpaces Republicans in improving economic freedom
United States |
United Kingdom |
Overall, economic freedom in the US is at the same level overall, but other countries have passed it, leading to the United States being tied for 12th with Switzerland in the Heritage Foundation's latest Index of Economic Freedom.
So who's beating us? Try Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, Estonia, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Iceland, Australia, and Chile. Not only that, but the UK (with Tony Blair's Labour Party in power), improved.
If the Labour Party is improving economic freedom faster than the Republican Party, then something's definitely wrong!
