‘Economic Freedom Index’ Shows The United States Posting Worst Performance Ever

https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking

Excerpt:

Every year, the Heritage Foundation’s “Index of Economic Freedom” ranks countries according to their friendliness toward free market principles. Even as most nations maintain their economic freedom, the United States is falling behind.

According to the conservative think tank, most global economies have remained “moderately free” since last year’s report. At the same time, the 2021 index shows that the United States recorded “its worst score and ranking ever, a result of out-of-control spending and a loss of confidence by Americans in the even-handed rule of law.”

The score assigned to the United States decreased by 1.8 points from 2020, causing it to slide from 17th place. Currently, the United States trails Canada and Chile as the third highest-ranked nation in the Americas.

“The major obstacles to greater economic freedom in the United States continue to be excessive government spending, unsustainable levels of debt, and intrusive regulation of the health care and financial sectors,” reads the United States’ profile.

The United States carries relatively high rankings for categories such as business freedom, property rights, and labor freedom. However, the United States’ ranking for fiscal health significantly lags global averages.

Thank you Joe, the Ho and all the fascist politicians in DC. The DS appreciates your destruction of freedom in the US./s

Ivanka Trump Donates To Surfside Condo Collapse Rescue Efforts

Excerpt:

Former President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have reportedly pitched in to help out with the rescue effort at the collapsed Surfside, Fla. condo building.

According to a local NBC-TV affiliate WTVJ, the pair have opened up their wallets to help organize over a week’s worth of food for first responders and volunteers who have jumped in to help with the search and rescue efforts in the Champlain Towers South building. The source told NBC 6 that the Kushners are “supporting the community that has welcomed them, and they’re praying for all those affected by the tragedy.”

The partially collapsed condo complex is two blocks away from the couple’s Miami home. Ivanka and Kushner relocated their family in January following the presidential election, renting a unit at the nearby luxury beachfront high-rise Arte Surfside.
