    That is where I disagree and am radically differ from libertarians.

    I do believe the government is the best choice for some projects, even when it is not the most cost effective.

    Roads are a perfect example. I have had libertarian friends claim the roads could be privatized with better results. I do not believe that since roads are vital for living. Imagine if someone bought all the roads in your town and then charged a crazy fee to use them. Roads would only be maintained in areas where it’s profitable instead of all over the place.

    I also believe in a single payer health system. I think that is something the government should do. The military is another example of something that should be run by the government.
