When David Koch ran to the right of Reagan as vice president on the 1980 Libertarian ticket (it polled 1 percent), his campaign called for the abolition not just of Social Security, federal regulatory agencies and welfare but also of the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and public schools — in other words, any government enterprise that would either inhibit his business profits or increase his taxes. He hasn’t changed.

This is what we're up against. Abolition of basic government services in pursuit of Big Business. At least no one can speak logically (I know, like that matters) about getting rid of the CIA with so much terrorism at our doorstep.
