Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:37:07 +0000 http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/?p=2907#comment-17299 Ron Paul is still the only politician I've heard state the plainly obvious laissez-faire principle that the government should sell off its land to the highest bidder, not lease it to companies to despoil it or hold it off the market for environmentalists. Let the two groups bid on the land. If it goes to the drillers, they'll treat it better than the government does, and certainly better than they would if the government leased it to them.

The federal government does not produce energy, it does not drill for oil, it has no business in the health insurance industry, it should not be in the business of delivering education, it should NOT invest in science and technology but should allow private companies to innovate and develop free market solutions, and you are not in the business of making sure kids get to college. They can handle that themselves, and take advantage of many opportunities that are out there, supplied by providers that have no connection whatsoever to the federal government. I found this on Jay’s website:

Extending the program to include everyone on as many as three ballots would make the project unmanageable. What is Jay's position? He's not so great on healthcare, or at least he wasn't back in '04.

Very depressing. All of the candidates profiled are socialists, with Barr being the least so (but still bad).

Ending the Department of Energy will take the federal government out of the oil and energy business... We can by simply getting the government out of the way have a surplus of energy in this country." Addition to Chuck Baldwin’s information:

By requiring equitable trade, investing in urgently needed local labor-intensive public works (infrastructure improvements), creating a new renewable energy efficiency policy; by fully funding education and redirecting large bureaucratic and fraudulent health expenditures toward preventive health care we can reverse this trend and create millions of new jobs. Subsidizing renewable energy sources, which directly employ 2 to 5 times as many people for every unit of electricity generated as fossil or nuclear sources yet are cost competitive. Also, retrofit existing buildings for energy conservation and build non-polluting, low impact transportation systems.
