In their 2012 Index of Economic Freedom, Canada was ranked in 6th place, and the United States was ranked in 10th place.
With the upholding of Obamacare by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 28, 2012, I think it’s a very distinct possibility that the United States will fall off the Heritage Foundation’s 2013 Index of Economic Freedom Top 10 list, and that will be almost certain if the Bush tax cuts expire at the end of 2012.
Previously, I wrote the article, Canada more economically free than the United States for the third year in a row: Heritage Foundation.
