Republicans want a president who will get spending under control, make jobs, education, and seniors a priority. They want a president who will get health care working correctly and make meaningful improvements to other social programs.
Democrats want a president who will get spending under control, make jobs, education, and seniors a priority. They want a president who will get health care working correctly and make meaningful improvements to other social programs.
Hmmm... Notice any similarities? Here's the Libertarian / Classical Liberal ideal:
Libertarians want a president who will drastically reduce spending by shrinking the size of government. They want a president who will set in motion the elimination of government involvement in jobs, education, and senior / health care, as well as all social programs.
Well, that sounds harsh, you say. Why? Given the history of incredible monetary efficiency in government (tongue-in-cheek), everyone should be clamoring for a libertarian president. If that was the only consideration, we'd still be in trouble, but not much less. Our freedoms depend on our ability to choose for ourselves. When presidents and Congress call themselves "lawmakers," I cringe! Please! No more laws! We have too many already, and if politicians didn't feel the need to meddle in every single facet of Americans' lives, we'd all feel and be more free.
What America needs in a President is someone who will reverse the tsunami of government meddling in the personal lives of its people. So far, no one from either party seems willing to "lay off." So, we're left to decide on the speed at which we move toward more government control rather than whether we want it at all.
Not much of a choice at all, is it?
