Who's going to bell the cat? Badnarik? Harry Browne? Without a significant presence in Congress, or even in the State houses, it all amounts to pie-in-the-sky what ifs. Cato can propose programs all day long, but if there is no implementation all that they are doing is generating reams of landfill.
So you would prefer we didn't even TRY to stem the tide? I agree, it will be a job and a half to effect real change. What we know for sure is that the way things are currently going certainly isn't going to get us there.
