Over at Downsizing Government, we focused on the following issues this week:

• Downsizing Government was featured on C‑SPAN.
• Unfortunately, because government has come to dominate road construction, most citizens probably don’t stop to consider that the private sector can provide superior alternatives.
• Evidence that higher education subsidies are counterproductive handouts.
• The omnibus abomination makes it easy to understand why Congress’s approval rating is at a new low.
• The United States is #1! We now have the highest corporate tax rate among the 34 wealthy nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
