The welfare state is not the problem. The warfare state is not the problem. What is…?

In Bumper Hornberger’s excellent (as usual) LRC column, The Demise of Conscience, he notes: “As libertarians have long pointed out, both the welfare state and the warfare state have brought immeasurable damage to our country.”

Say, here’s a thought–maybe it’s not the “welfare state” or the “warfare state” that’s the real problem. But–what do they have in common? Say it with me–the state. That’s right–the STATE is the problem. Join us anarcho-libertarians. It’s the right thing to do!
