Yes. It's like they dialed up the "free market" and small government nonsense to 11. Meaning, no public services at all would be the goal. The government would just be there to enforce contracts between rational actors (courts and cops) and a supposedly reduced military.

I doubt too many Republicans would be down for something like toll roads everywhere for instance.

I'm reading The Blockers, and I'm regaining an appreciation for the quiet things that "big government" does. Like NIST. He gives a brief overview of the state of things prior to NIST and without something like NIST, we'd be so fucked. The outcome of "marketplace miracles" prior to NIST was having multiple versions of the foot and the gallon, and incompatible fire hydrants and so on.

What the Libertarians seem to believe about government is so utterly emotionally and intellectually stunted as to be cartoonish in my view.
