Today, government is involved in nearly every waking second of our lives, from regulating things like the water we drink and the quality of the food we eat to preventing amateur hair stylists from ruining our hair and making sure that the roads we drive on are safe. What began as a means of promoting the general welfare has morphed into a regulatory burden that costs Americans $1.8 trillion annually--more than the GDP of all but nine countries in the world today!
What are the areas where government involvement is most likely to improve the lives of citizens? What are the areas that government involvement is least likely to do so? And what positive steps we can take today to return to a more limited and effective government?
Join Dave Hebert at Acton on Tap on August 25 as he answers these questions and much more. Be a part of the banter, discussion and debate on this timely topic!
