On this episode of Future of Freedom, host Scot Bertram talks with Richard Reinsch, director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies and AWC Family Foundation Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation's mission is "to formulate and promote public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense." Reinsch tells us whether America still believes in itself as a true economic power, whether the single-income-household model is a thing of the past, and why Washington's spending has helped bring government farther away from the people. And what should Congress really be focusing on, anyway? You can follow Richard on Twitter at @Reinsch84. More information about The Heritage Foundation is at @heritage and heritage.org
