Personally, rather than trying to get the government to do less, I’d like some serious effort to go into doing what it does do more efficiently than it currently does it. Example: For what we currently pay for Medicare (and possibly less), you could offer full coverage to every American, if you only stripped out the corporate protectionism and got serious about fraud enforcement.

Yep, because you can talk the talk, but when it actually comes to cutting government, all the various interests come out of the wood work and demand you not give them a smaller slice of the pie. We will never shrink government in this country. The most we can hope for is to stop it from growing so fast, that the economy overtakes it sufficiently as to decrease it’s relative size.

One of the reasons I ended up in the gun issue is because it’s one area of liberty minded politics where I think there’s actually a chance of winning. On economic and fiscal matters, the people like big government, and the politicians are only too happy to oblige.

Language warning, he is from Boston.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
