Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, in his new book, bashes President Bush for not responsibly handling the nation's spending and racking up big budget deficits.But surely as a libertarian Republican, he sees the importance of defeating Islamofascism in Iraq, though, right?
A self-described "libertarian Republican," Greenspan takes his own party to task for forsaking conservative principles that favor small government.
"I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."How unserious! The no-blood-for-oil cliche!
So to recap: Cato's taken Bush to task for his abuse of the Constitution. Now Greenspan, yet another libertarian-leaning Republican (see also O'Neill, Paul), takes Bush to task for his fiscal policies, and his foreign policy.
What kind of libertarians still support Bush?
