Even if it was a near 100% libertarian motivated idea (and as you point out it wasn't) one loss wouldn't signify the death of the idea.

Nor, please, did Lind argue that. He's not, in any way, dumb. He may be wrong--I for instance, think libertarian arguments, as much as they bother me, still have legs. But Lind's a bright guy.

>>The rejection of "SOCIAL SECURITY privatization" signifies the death of libertarianism.<<

Most Americans are a bit naive or very trusting. They don't realize that both political parties took part in robbing the public purse. The money from social security has been borrowed and spent by Congress ever since President Johnson's "Great Society" programs in the 1960s.

The only money you can count on is your own private savings.
