While it's obvious the U.S. federal #government must drastically cut #spending to avoid ruin, decreased government spending alone doesn't mean meor #Liberty and increasing Liberty sometimes doesn't cost a dime.

The US government spends 36.3% of GDP.
The Pakistani government spends 20% of GDP.
The Iranian government spends 12.3% of GDP.
The Venezuelan government spends 12% of #GDP

None of these other countries have more liberty than Americans do, despite having more reasonable budgets. They demonstrate that the US could cut two thirds of spending, or more, and still wind up with a tyrannical State.

Individual #freedom & personal #responsibility is far more important than $ & ¢. #libertarian #libertarianism #FreedomsTheAnswer
