Libertarians just say 'Yes' to huge budget cuts, 'Yes' to dramatic tax cuts, 'Yes' to fiscal restraint. We say 'Yes' to significantly reducing government power. We say 'Yes' to restoring individual freedom and responsibility. If government growth were a Video tape, liberals would be pushing the 'Fast Forward' button, moderates the 'Forward' button, Republican Politicians would talk about hitting the 'Pause' button, while they left the tape on 'Forward'. Libertarians are the only people trying to push the 'Rewind' button.
Government grows dramatically during war time.
Martial Law is instituted, curfews imposed and civil liberties are curtailed. War fuels government growth. In days bygone, we had World Wars, brushfire wars and Cold Wars. Today we have Trade Wars against Japan or Mexico. We have to protect our borders against this invasion of foreign goods.
