Cool with all of it besides "eliminate trade barriers & tariffs" and perhaps what she means by "reforming immigration". I stopped being a registered Libertarian about 5 years ago, so I'm not up to date.

Libertarians are for open borders and free trade while also being in favor of eliminating all forms of entitlements and government subsidies. Open borders is the optimum policy in the absence of a welfare state, but a welfare state makes open borders national suicide.

The problem with libertarians is they don’t have a party, they just half arse a campaign every 4 years.

This is from her Web site:
quote:

“The freedom to trade and travel are fundamental to human liberty. As American citizens, we should be free to travel anywhere we choose, and to buy and sell anywhere in the world. As President, I will use my Constitutional authority to eliminate trade barriers & tariffs, and work to repeal arbitrary quotas on the number of people who can legally enter the United States to work, visit, or reside. “
So basically open borders.

Sucks because there are parts of her platform that are petty good.

Yup. Libertarianism is to the Right what Communism is to the Left. It sounds great on paper, and in incredibly small samples sizes, but is an unmitigated disaster at any macro level.

Agree - just scanning the list this one jumped out as a nope.

Need to look behind the curtain on some of the others.
