Lying liars

Bullsh!t.

I don't have time to go through this report in detail, but clearly the measures the Cato Institute uses to measure economic "freedom" need some work. Unless you consider a country with little Government regulation but huge oligopolies divying up the economy and running the city for themselves as "free". Singapore was second; the US, New Zealand, Switzerland and Britain were equal third.

This New Zealand? The one that cancels a trip that wasn't happening?

Conrad went over all of this when the Heritage Foundation put out their report at the start of the year. Same rubbish, different institute.

Well things like minimum wage laws and collective bargaining are items that will get you modded down by the Cato Institute and Heritage Foundation since those nasty labour unions are out to extort all of that hard-earned money from investors.

As for the Israeli response... "You're not inviting me to the school dance? Well I didn't wanna go with you anyway. And besides you have BO and bad breath. Nya nya nya."
