    So that means you're a libertarian.

    No, no. Libertarians are relatively dogmatic in their belief that government
    should have almost no regulatory role in the lives of its citizens. I don't
    believe that at all. I do believe in paying our bills with sensible taxes
    and sensible spending. I also believe the federal government should
    generally abstain from regulating the sex lives of consenting adults. Where
    I differ with libertarians is my belief that some federal regulation is
    required in the financial, environmental, and healthcare sections of the
    American economy. I am a man in the middle, my friend.
