Love Stossel, but when these libertarians go off on foreign policy and national defense, they step into do do.
He’s right that with economic and domestic policy, “doing something” is often wrong and counter productive. But “doing something” about national defense is actually the one legitimate role of the Fed Gov. Of course Obama won’t do the right thing - but still - Stossel is not on solid ground here with his premise.
The issue is oil. Were we to increase our domestic production to it’s full potential, we wouldn’t be so concerned about what goes on over there.
