Really, all this splitting of hairs is getting out of hand. These agencies are HERE. All these programs EXIST. Done. Decades of performance and precident behind them. Nobody but a few of you seem to have problems with them. And, you're really, really stretching to find ways to invalidate them.

If you want to talk about specific program cutbacks, rather than talking vaguely about slashing and burning the whole government as a monolithic, evil entity, that's great.

But come on, turning the clock back to 1781 is just too silly to even discuss with a straight face. If this is truly what libertarianism espouses, then ther're no point in even discussing it.
