Ive been considering voting for Johnson. But he is falling into the same rhetoric as Romney on the "Government doesnt create jobs" nonsense. As nearly 60% of my machine shop business is government work, I disagree.
I can't speak to what Johnson has, or has not, claimed. But libertarian ideology is opposed to using government to "create jobs" on principle, regardless of whether or not it can do so effectively.
Principles dont keep an economy moving. Principles dont feed my family.
Obviously -- you are voting your pocket book -- not principles then.. I spent a portion of my career shaking down Washington agencies for money. That -- oddly enough was enough to MAKE me a Libertarian..
Principles help you be CONSISTENT on what you believe. It's simple clean and very soothing to have principles that don't tie you up in knots..
