Let me use a relevant example. Would it be "hypocrisy" for a high school
student who believes that the Federal Education Loan program is
unconstitutional under the "limited powers" clause to accept federal
education loans to go to college? Even though the existance of these
loans have caused the prices of higher education to skyrocket?
I answer "no" to that question.... it would *not* be hypocrisy in my mind.
Indeed, the existance of these loans have so distorted the market for
higher education, in terms of driving private loans out of the market and
escalating the price that it would be only sensible to accept these loans,
even in spite of one's views.
