Conservatives, unhappy with how social programs are run, want to simply "eliminate 'em." They want to throw the baby out with the bathwater...
Liberals, unhappy with not having enough money for social programs, want to throw more tax money at the problems. They keep cleaning the bathwater, but leave the baby in the tub forever...
Libertarians remove the baby from the bath. It leaves him shivering and with no way to bathe again if he dirties himself. And he will, trust me, he will. He's a baby!
So that is why I consider myself a Libertarian Socialist with very little tolerance for government waste.
