Bob Barr: James Madison and the Original Federalists: Where Are They When We Need Them?
Former U.S. Congressman and Former Libertarian Party Candidate for President
Barr argues that a tremendous and dangerous growth of government has taken place in recent decades. He points to what he sees as the unprecedented power of the executive branch, the growth of federal laws and regulations, and massive levels of federal spending, all as evidence that it’s time for the country to look back on the writings of James Madison and the original Federalists and to benefit from their wisdom.
