As election nears Joe Miller sounding even more hardline libertarian

From Eric Dondero:

You'd expect pretty much any candidate, Republican or Democrat, to moderate or tarnish rough edges of their ideology 3 weeks out of an election. Not Alaska's Joe Miller.

Miller recently spoke to about 100 people at a hotel in North Pole.

From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Oct. 8:

The Fairbanks attorney warned that some Chinese bond agencies have already downgraded U.S. debt and if the federal government doesn’t do something to cut spending, it could face the same financial difficulties that were seen in Greece this year.

On the topic of economic policy, Miller also said he supports libertarian-leaning Rep. Ron Paul’s bill to audit the federal reserve, which he said was torn apart when it reached the Senate.

Miller has previously advocated for the eventual privatization of Social Security, repealing Democrat-backed health care reform as well as abolishing the Department of Education and other federal programs not explicitly allowed for in the Constitution.

“I hope we can do something in an orderly fashion, hopefully a cutback on a year-by-year basis,” he said.

Miller has warmed up to the Libertarian Party of Alaska in the last few weeks. He and his staff have had meetings with both Libertarian Party of AK Chair Scott Kohlhaas, and Libertarian for Senate Dave Haase.
