Jeffrey Miron

Here are some thoughts on what a libertarian might do as president of the United States: 

Procedurally

  • Issue no executive orders, other than to undo pre–existing orders.
  • Try to convince Congress and voters to change policy in the ways described below.

Substantively

  • Expand paths for legal immigration.
  • Remove tariffs and other trade restrictions.
  • Eliminate federal drug prohibition.
  • Repeal federal laws that ban or restrict private discrimination.
  • Abstain from foreign policy interventions.
  • Scale back Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, and other social welfare spending.
  • Oppose federal laws that ban or mandate legal abortion.
  • Support legality of same-sex marriage.
  • End federal involvement in education.
  • Leave economic regulation to individual states.
