The Heritage Foundation’s Role After the Election

by Edwin J. Feulner November 8, 2012

The following is adapted from remarks Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner delivered Wednesday to Heritage staff.

I imagine that, besieged and belittled on all sides, and confronted with such a formidable array of adversaries – in the White House, Congress, the media and the academy – all determined to undo the Reagan Revolution and establish the Obama Revolution in its stead, many of you may look around in despair and ask: “Where is the cavalry that can come galloping to our rescue and save us from disaster?”

The global level of economic freedom rose steadily for 15 years, according to the Index, which Heritage publishes annually with the Wall Street Journal. Since 2011, however, economic freedom has stalled at a score of 74.5 out of 100. The United States recently fell from the ranks of free countries and is now classified as “mostly free.”
