John Stossel: Hurtling Down the Road to Serfdom
• Washington ExaminerGovernment is taking us down the Road to Serfdom. That doesn't just mean more of us must work for the government. It means we are changing from independent, self-responsible people into a submissive flock. The welfare state kills the creative spirit.

I'm not sure if you saw Stossel's show last night, but he did "The Road To Serfdom", the whole thing was good... but one part I thought you might be specifically interested in was his segment on how the public employee unions are holding our country hostage through their labor agreements... including the police and firefighters.
Here is the best part about the public employee unions:

Here is the part about the police... he doesn't quite say "we need less police", but it's pretty well inferred. I can't find the clip where he really tore into our "protectors"...
