OK, I won’t delude myself – a libertarian is unlikely to become president. But Jorgensen’s platform is a refreshing change. She correctly points out that government “is too big, too bossy, too nosy, and way too intrusive.” Of course, many candidates say that when running for office. President Donald Trump said it, but once he was elected, he increased spending by half a trillion dollars, created a new military branch designed to protect U.S. interests in space, imposed tariffs, and demanded more funds for “infrastructure” and “building a giant wall.”
We have a choice! In the next presidential election, we don’t have to decide between two big-spending candidates, neither of whom has expressed much interest in limited government.
Now, we have a third serious choice... Dr. Jo Jorgensen (pictured above), a psychology lecturer at Clemson University, won the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination.
