re: If you want to make serious cuts in future government spending you have to go to where the money is. Its in entitlement spending, which even now is bigger than defense and eventually will be much bigger unless you are anticipating a WWII style mobilization.

So... let's keep the war machine increasing (up~8% in Bush new budget, while cutting social programs), at a gross more than five times our closest competitor. And let's cut the social programs, hell, they are only our fellow citizens that will be sent into poverty.

When did libertarians become so aggressive? Is the concept of self determination dead? When did Nation Building become a "libertarian" priority?
