   Hate to break it to you, but your Libertarian fantasy will not work out the way you think it will. We are going to see more pollution, more child labor, more exploitation of poor immigrants and more hoarding of wealth by the few among other

    I know it’s standard language, but calling it “defense” is newspeak-esque.

    I'd rather do something for now than nothing at all. Would be nice if we could have free public college (in some form) and public health insurance.
