About the conservative Heritage Foundation's 2010 Index of Economic Freedom study of 179 countries ...
The US ranks 8th by measure, even after TARP and other massive government bailouts, and even after that non-existent "government takeover of health care." And you want the real irony? All of the Western nations above the United States on the list have far more socialist health care systems and larger social welfare systems than we do -- I mean by a long shot, it's not even close.
The top seven are Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Switzerland, and Canada.
