Congress, Your Grades Are Posted

Yesterday, Americans For Prosperity released their “Economic Freedom Scorecard.” Quite simply, the group ranks all 535 members of Congress based on their votes regarding economic freedom:

The 112th Congress Scorecard includes critical votes on such issues as the repeal of President Obama’s new health care law, preempting EPA’s purported authority to regulate greenhouse gases, supporting Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget, ending ethanol subsidies, several Congressional Review Act resolutions to overturn new regulations, and the fiscal year 2012 appropriations bills.

Here’s how the Arkansas congressional delegation scored (click to enlarge):
