When questioned about the cost of a seriously libertarian President in power that actually gets serious libertarian proposals enacted:

I'd say at the cost of dozens of thousands of parasitic government jobs and laws that directly infringe upon our liberty; at the cost of an epochal earthquake in the Establishment and how it does business; at the cost of many, many individuals who have relied on the stolen wealth of others to live; at the cost of state institutions that have systematically ruined generations of Americans and incentivized laziness, mediocrity, and dependence; at the cost of untold thousands of innocent foreign lives and countless billions of dollars in war; etc. These are "costs" only to those who have fed off the system.
