Future And Freedom Lost To Bureaucracy

In this powerful constitutional video, Clifford Ribner reveals how the rise of federal regulatory agencies has crippled American innovation, concentrated power in unelected hands, and erased the freedom that once defined our nation.

For over a century, Washington has claimed to be “protecting the public.” The record shows the opposite. From the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission to the modern alphabet agencies—the FAA, SEC, FCC, FDA—each new layer of regulation has centralized authority, suffocated competition, and crushed private enterprise.

The video traces how the Commerce Clause was twisted from a shield against state interference into a weapon of federal control. The result hasn’t been safety or prosperity—it’s been stagnation, monopoly, and lost opportunity for every American.

The regulatory state promised efficiency and progress—in reality, it delivered tyranny by bureaucracy.

What you’ll see in this video

• – How federal agencies seized powers the Constitution never granted

• – Why “regulation” became a tool to block innovation and protect entrenched interests

• – The hidden cost of bureaucracy—products never made, technologies never sold, freedoms never lived

• – The Founders’ warnings in The Federalist Papers and Gibbons v. Ogden about this exact danger

This is one of Clifford Ribner’s clearest explanations of how bureaucracy destroys liberty, prosperity, and the very future it claims to safeguard.
