Re: [RC] Pawlenty is to economics what Palin is to US History

I did not know that Pawlenty HAD Libertarian tendencies. Maintaining entitlements is definitely NOT in that arena. David "There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head."--P. J.

Basically, we should maintain entitlements, with cosmetic cuts, a strong military, keep sucking up to big finance, etc and cut taxes to near zero. I'm not making this up. This isn't serious econ , it is quasi-libertarian fantasy land. Reaganomics on steroids. Or maybe more like GWB with a vengeance. Come to think of it, Pawlenty seems to want to become W2.   W1 was a disaster, why do we need a worse version ?   my humble opinion Teddy Roosevelt   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   message dated 6/7/2011 1:09:36 P.M.
