Eighth worst in the entire house. Truth is, Ron Paul never voted AT
ALL on
20% of the things he should have.

Proclaims his devotion to the market place yet voted against
allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

Could that be because the government has no business being in the
healthcare business???
That is not the point. As long as they are in it why not allow
negotiated prices, it works for the VA
By the way do you also oppose government funding of education?

I oppose the federal government sticking their noses into education. That
is a function of the states. We do have a constitution in this country,
you know? Try reading it and the writings of those who wrote it
sometime...
So how was your education financed?

It should have been financed by my state and local school district, with no
federal money.

But it was and you reaped the benefits that you now want to deny to
others.

First of all you would have to FIND some benefits.

If you reaped no benefits from years of education I think the problem
was you rather than the system.

I wonder how many people become libertarians when their student loans
are due.

Good point, that federal money comes with mandates the money will not
cover.

Always do. Why do think the drinking age everywhere is 21 and
there are mandatory seatbelt laws, etc. etc. etc. etc.

You reaped benefits from the FEDERAL money "given" to the
schools? You would certainly be among the first.

With both examples a state could negate those laws by losing federal
funding but even the strongest advocates of states rights are rarely
ready to do that.

As I said if one got no benefits from that education the fault most
likely lies with the individual.

When you compare the money the federal government gives to education
to the cost of what it requires states and school districts to do to
get that money, it is doubtful that there is much benefit for anyone.
