What is the precedence for someone talking statist and then turning libertarian once in the seat of power? It is nothing but complete, utter BLIND faith in a politician, based on nothing but family tree.

It is Rand talking out of both sides of his mouth again.<br /><br />He says that he is not opposed to what the President is doing with the Promise Zones program---which is all about government grants. <br /><br />Quote: "I am not opposed to what he is doing."<br /><br />But thanks for one thing, this video shows Rand isn't confused about his position,Robert Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296920597416905488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-30295472241303141322014-01-12T12:03:51.248-05:002014-01-12T12:03:51.248-05:00From what I understand, Paul believes the two plan...From what I understand, Paul believes the two plans have the same end goal, targeted economic recovery, but use different means to achieve that goal. "Promise Zones" using top-down government authority, "Economic Freedom Zones" using bottom-up free markets.
