Liberals - Weed your garden

David Brooks editorial in the NY Times is such a simple message that reduces Ron Paul's proposals to cut several government departments to practical suggestions rather  than ideological declarations.  Bloated government consumes resources that hinders the delivery of authority and liberty.  A Department of Energy does nothing for either side for example so that eliminating it should be an easy decision.  The Department of Education on the hand has a lot of political baggage attached to it, but if it consumes resources and does not deliver what's a liberal to do?
