"" though Number One for "Health" interestingly enough.."
I wonder why I feel like when I travel to Europe, people are thinner. Maybe they're just thinner than WI people. I see people on bikes, being more relaxed, walking more. I'm surprised US is #1 on health.

There's no question about it tho that the U.S is getting to be less and less free and that's harmful for everyone living here.

I tend to find the economic freedom index to be much more accurate than the "prosperity index." The prosperity index has a liberal bias built into the metrics used. The Economic Freedom Index has Norway ranked at 27th while the U.S. is at 13.

Denmark and Canada ahead of the USA, which placed 13th...

Note that the USA is Number 31 for "Safety and Security" though Number One for "Health" interestingly enough...

Economically free states provide more prosperity to its citizens the the less economically free states! The more economically free states have higher median wages, less poverty, less inequality and the people are happier! This is everything the left stands for and the most economically free states do better in every category! Freedom is the answer and this episode is packed with information to help you debate your leftist friends.
