Read this and you'll understand:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Johnson
He had a very successful career as a small businessman, who grew it from a one man shop to a multimillion dollar company with over 1000 employees. He was a very effective and popular governor of New Mexico. He wasn't shy about using the veto to cut pork and wasteful spending.
His positions include balancing the budget, slashing government spending, getting out of foreign military involvements, and legalizing prostitution and marijuana. Contrary to what his critics say, he wouldn't cut out the social safety net, but he would shrink it and make it more efficient. In reality, if he'd been elected president, he probably never would have been able to shrink the net, but he certainly would have wielded his veto, like he did in New Mexico, to cut out the pork.
Btw, I am taking great joy in hijacking Dilbert's thread with Libertarianism and Gary Johnson. If memory serves me correctly he dislikes both. Sorry about that Dilbert. NOT. HAHAHAHAHA
