Independence in 1776 to Dependence on 1776

Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute has published a chart depicting the growth of Federal subsidy programs:






It is a sad coincidence that the number of subsidy programs now equals 1,776. In the year 1776 our nation’s founders were willing to fight and die to attain liberty and economic freedom. Today the citizens of this nation have traded that liberty and economic freedom to become wards of the state and its 1,776 subsidy programs.
