“Libertarians have a keen appreciation of how governments monkey with the money supply. This is but one of the reasons principled libertarians abhor the optional war pursued in Iraq. By and large, the war accounts for the $9 trillion in national debt. It’s a debt that has been increasing ‘an average of $1.47 billion per day since September 29, 2006.’ At the time of writing, every one of us owes $28,921. Yet, never once have the war harpies and their hombres in the ideological trenches indicated they comprehend how and WHO is paying for all this. I know they believe we’re not being taxed in lieu of the debt, a faith they base on Bush’s promise not to raise taxes…”
