Mark Levin has said that we can’t do away with Social Security entirely. Tonight, he also spoke at length about Ron Paul, his mentor, William F. Buckley’s attitude towards them, and that Ron is of an offshoot of libertarianism. He called him a libertarian anarchist.
The podcast is well worth listening to. Levin was excellent.

I agree that Ron Paulista is definitely on the weird end of libertarianism and doesn’t represent what I remember from years past. The Ron Paul supporters of today are nothing like the Libertarians I remember from years past. However, I think the real problem is not “anarchism”, but an embrace of men like Alex Jones and other hateful conspiracies which has led them down this path of wanting to burn the whole place down.
As for social security. I haven’t listened to Levin for awhile, but social security should be eliminated. You can’t make it all disappear at once, but at least offering young workers the option to switch to a private account is a good step in the right direction. As things stand right now, social security has no long term future. The government also should not be saving for your retirement, which in reality many of us will probably never see any of that money anyway. It’s a giant ponzi scheme that will forever be collapsing, as the demands can only grow and grow, and the returns grow less and less.
