Episode Description
In this episode we hear our guest, Commissioner Jim Turney of Altamonte Springs, Florida, discuss how he became a Libertarian, how employing the Libertarian values of financial responsibility on both the local and national party level actually works, and how governments frequently use fear as a motivating factor in reducing our liberties and overextending budgets. Witness only the COVID-19 situation, much less 9/11! But there are better ways. Deal with government pensions like is being done in the private sector: both the employee and employer make known contributions each month, and that ends it. No more open-ended obligations that are bankrupting local, state and government governments nationwide! In other words, treat government finances just like we treat family and company finances: responsibly. So please join us for this episode of true "boots on the ground" Libertarian responsibility. You will wish that your elected city officials were all like Commissioner Jim Turney!
