This will be the greatest American debate since Helvidius debated Pacifus in 1793!

By the way, IPR’s newest correspondent, Ross Levin, is off to a fabulous start.

Can we list you on the About Us page as our “cub reporter,” Ross?

No. Barrett was the first candidate in the race and he apparently is not very libertarian. So Olson jumped into the race to challenge him.

Only one can run for WI’s 3rd Congressional district, so they’re debating in anticipation of a primary, which will decide which can run under the Libertarian banner for the office in question.

I haven’t researched Barrett so I don’t know his positions well, but I can say with certainty that his candidacy is controversial.

Let me get this straight. They’re having a debate about whether supporting social security and universal healthcare are libertarian positions?

What is the world coming to?
