The Libertarians continue to sink into insignificance.

True enough. I think it is safe to say, though, that the government will get larger and cost more, regardless of the Republican victory.

Which is too bad, IMO. I would be very happy to be proven wrong about that.

Even though I lean heavily in the small "l" direction, I can't help but think of the LP as strictly an out-of-touch political farce. When and if the LP ever sh*tcans Harry Browne and quits advocating the ridiculous stance of open borders and restricted National Defense, I will seriously consider switching my party affiliation.

As to the content of the article, I seriously doubt that most of the posters on this forum would honestly disagree that there is going to be an increase in spending by the federal government. The only argument that will ensue is that the increase will now be less than what we would see under a Democrat controlled congress. I tend to agree with that.
