Gary Johnson certainly offers a unique perspective, especially when it comes to fiscal responsibility and individual liberty. Remember when he was governor of New Mexico? He used his veto power more than all other governors combined to keep the budget in check. So, considering the current state of our nation's debt, it's understandable why you'd be drawn to a candidate with such a track record. Do you think his approach would be more effective in addressing our current economic situation?

His fiscal approach might not be applicable or successful at the federal level. For instance, his Libertarian stance of minimal government interference in the economy might not be feasible given the complex economic and social issues we face today.

Take, for example, the issue of healthcare. Johnson is a proponent of free-market healthcare, arguing that competition will lower costs. However, many would argue that healthcare is not a typical market. If you're sick or injured, you can't shop around for the best deal as you might for a car or a TV, and this often leads to inflated costs.

I think healthcare ran by the government would be more beneficial than a free-market approach.
