The government doesn’t have money to spend, it can only spend money it confiscates from the public. I doubt libertarian principles would be printing money. The Murray Rothbard approach to spend 1 trillion dollars on health care and education would be returning the confiscated money to public which Paul did not advocate.

At least nowhere in the entire three sentences submitted as evidence.

Did you just totally ignore my comments?

1. Economic resources are finite in the short-term.

2. Use of resources by the government diverts resources from the rest of the economy.

Murray Rothbard was an Anarchist Capitalist that wrote for National Review back in the days but was expelled because he didn’t go along with Buckley’s support for the Welfare State.
