Libertarians Are The Only Fiscal Conservatives

1/30/2004 - Libertarians Are The Only Fiscal Conservatives - Opinion - Chattanoogan.com
by Joe Dumas

I have read a number of Mike North's columns on the chattanoogan.com and, though I don't always agree with everything he says, we seem to share a good deal of common ground. He certainly hit the nail on the head this week when he said "it’s been 10 years since the GOP took control of the House of Representatives with a promise of fiscal restraint and smaller government. I’m still waiting for them to deliver."

Guess what, Mike. You'll die waiting for them to deliver. And so will
the children born the day you wrote those words.

With George W. Bush's administration running up record deficits, it is
blatantly obvious that fiscal conservatism in the Republican Party is officially dead. ...

What Mr. North didn't do in his article was take his observations to
their logical conclusion. Since the Republicans have shown themselves
to be even bigger spenders than the Democrats, there is no longer any reason for fiscal conservatives to vote for candidates of either party.

It is time for advocates of fiscal restraint to abandon the Republicans and vote for candidates of the only party to actually advocate significant reductions in the size of government - the Libertarian Party. If all who agree with Mike would bolt the GOP for the LP, Libertarians could actually win elections and start to shrink government. And even if they didn't, the conservative votes lost by the Republicans could possibly swing the balance of power and result in the election of more Democrats ... which, fiscally speaking, would (as Mike so aptly demonstrates) at least be a small step in the direction of slowing government growth.
