In my experience, libertarian ideas look pretty good until someone actually puts them down on paper.

Force, i think it would be better if you started with a model of what government spending was like in the 50s or whenever, before government expanded, then compare it to today and make note of the differences, then propose a way to slowly phase out the differences.

Its like going on a diet to lose weight. The goal should be to remove the fat, not cut off the arms and legs.
