This is an interesting project, and I look forward to when you get to her more substantive bills. However I have one quibble:
On a scale of Mises/Rothbard = 5 and total commie = 1, I think it’s unfair to label something that has no (or at least an de-minimus) effect on freedom a 2.
All these coin/stamp bills are bullshit, but on your rather steep scale, they’re all neutral or very slightly negative. But they don’t differentially detract from freedom. They should all be rated equivalently regardless of the subject (somehow Girl Scouts & animals cause 20% more freedom, because you like them better than generals & the flag?)
I think they all should be 3, or maybe 2.75, and all the same, since they’re essentially de minimus BS bills anyway.
I don’t know, it’s your metric, so do what you will.
