Why I'm a Libertarian

In the Washington Post they discuss the issue of convicted sex offenders getting medicaid to pay for viagra:

A federal agency began notifying states Monday that they do not have to pay for Viagra for convicted rapists and other high-risk sex offenders.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services acted one day after the New York comptroller's office said audits from 2000 through March found that 198 sex offenders in the state received Medicaid-reimbursed Viagra after their convictions. Their crimes included offenses against children as young as 2, Comptroller Alan Hevesi said.

AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! I didn't pay my taxes last year to pay for this crap. The main benefit of public companies is that they generally find stuff like this faster...it hurts profitablity. There's no similar drive in government programs...that is unless the media points out problems to the public. This is why I'm a libertarian (er...I should say, "right-leaning libertarian"). Anyway, Powerline says it better...
