(More customer reviews)This book could not be more timely. Nor could it be more helpful in explaining how we got into this debt crisis and how we can get out of it. In The Freedom Agenda, Senator Lee makes the insightful, but too often overlooked argument that with every debt-limit increase, Congress authorizes the federal government to expand its size, scope, reach, and cost, always at the expense our our individual liberty. With each such expansion, the book explains, we as Americans become less free.
I would recommend this book to anyone because we, as a country, would be well-served to develop an understanding regarding (1) the limited purpose of the federal government, (2) the connection between the expansion of government (especially at the national level) and the erosion of individual liberty, and (3) the fact that the only way to break the cycle of government expansion is to restrict Congress's borrowing power. Senator Lee explains complex constitutional principles in a concise format that is easy to understand.
If you want to convince your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members that the federal government has gone too far and you need ammunition for your argument, you would do well to buy this book. It is a quick read, and very well worth the modest investment of time and money.
