Well, all I've got right now is this one quote, but since I'm the only one reading this, who cares:
“The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption."
President James Garfield
Hoping to keep this an active post, adding quotes when I stumble across them.

Index of Economic Freedom
Very interesting article from The Heritage Foundation.
And a nice snippet on the US, full of those nice forebodings here:
Weaknesses remain in fiscal freedom and government size. Total government spending equals more than a third of GDP. Corporate and personal taxes are high and increasingly uncompetitive. In 2008, the sub-prime mortgage crisis had far-reaching effects, and the government's unprecedented interventionist measures could severely undermine economic freedom in the future.
