There's no reason to argue Stein vs Johnson as they both are far more worthy of being a president than either of the current candidates.

I'm not one for alarmism.

I'd still pick Trump over Stein, but I'm very easily voting for Gary.

I mean, spending over half a trillion thanks to stuff like Medicaid is pretty alarming.

People not getting the coverage that Medicaid offers is actually more scary.

The system needs to be drastically reworked to make that coverage available in a way that isn't a blatant squandering of our resources, tax dollars, etc.

I'm not pro-big government, I'm anti-big gov, which both Hillary and Jill are, and that's a major voting point for me, if not the biggest voting point. Hence why I'm voting for Johnson, and would pick Trump as a second choice if Johnson dropped out.

So, working the government like a business is better?

It's sad to me that people think that this works.

I believe so; obviously there are some aspects that can't be run like a business, and eventually everyone will come to realize that. But having the government be a regulations enforcer with a strict budget, rather than a dominating force with a whopping budget problem, run like a loop-hole free corporation would be much better.

Wouldn't a strict budget help avoid overspending?
