There is too much government intrusion in our lives—an intrusion that limits personal freedoms and opportunities to prosper. The Buckeye Institute promotes policies that limit government intrusion and increase freedom and opportunity so that you can prosper from your hard work. Buckeye uses its independent and rigorous research to cut through the clutter and noise and offers commonsense policy solutions to our most challenging problems—policies that improve people’s lives, reduce government intrusion, and increase freedom and opportunity.
