Well you have to respect the guy for being consistent and honest. He's the opposite of the prototypical politician. Maybe he would be the perfect president. After all, congress wouldn't let him go back on the gold standard or anything-- checks and balances wont let a libertarian agenda run wild. But he might nudge the government in the right direction. Heck, I am a federal employee and I often wonder what I'd do if the Department of Commerce went away. Smaller government is fine with me--I'm more than ready to let my wife go back to work and slouch into retirement. I don't work for the FAA, but I certainly can imagine it being privitized--heck, Boeing really should have the planes flying themselves by now. And there are better examples than that one for privitization. There are a lot of agencies that could just go poof and nobody would be the worse for wear.
