Austrian Economic Dilettante

First blog post.  I am a toddler when it comes to Austrian Economics and libertarianism.  I personally considered myself aligned with the liberal (in the American sense). I was never officially part of the democrats or greens or any other party. I couldn't bring myself to be part of any party. I found libertarianism fascinating, but I couldn't get over the libertarian stance on public education, universal health care, and private almost everything. After reading the arguments of both sides, and hearing Ron Paul speak for the first time during the presidential primaries, it appears the libertarian position not only more logical, but more freedom oriented than the other positions. I am happy to have found a home here at Mises.
