Classic Stossel: Battle for the Future

The news is ugly. Big government keeps growing.

The Federal government alone, now spends $19,434 per American. When I did this video 12 years ago, it was ONLY $10,000.

Back then two visions were at war for the future of America: On the left, the progressives, on the right, the conservatives. They clashed about the healthcare bill, Wall Street reform, and the stimulus packages. But the fight really boiled down to one key question: Do we need MORE or LESS government?
