Libertarianism is an ideology of non aggression. Of liberty, freedom, and the basic truth that individuals should be as in control of their lives(themselves) as possible.
I think you may be blurring the line between politics, and economics a bit.(which I suppose is justifiable)
Libertarianism ≠ Capitalism.
Now explain how liberty and personal freedom isn't hip-hop...

Furloughing FAA Inspectors And NTSB Investigators May Violate International Aviation Treaty
"FAA’s furlough of 3,000 aviation safety inspectors and NTSB’s furlough of its accident investigators may put the United States in default of its treaty obligations under the Chicago Convention and the obligations of member states of the International Civil Aviation Organization. The Chicago Convention is the main aviation treaty setting the standards for air safety among the 192 contracting states of ICAO, an agency of the United Nations. Violating its treaty obligations could have significant repercussions for US airlines if the inspectors and investigators are not immediately put back to work.
ICAO requires that the US have a system for insuring that all aircraft operating over its territory regardless of country of registry, and all US-registered aircraft wherever they operate, comply with applicable safety regulations. The FAA’s system requires adequate numbers of aviation safety inspectors. According to Loretta Alkalay, the FAA’s former top lawyer in NY, “it’s hard to imagine that the FAA can meet its ICAO obligations without 3000 inspectors. After all, it’s impossible to perform required surveillance and oversight functions without inspectors.”
In addition to safety oversight, the US is required by ICAO to insure that persons who violate air safety regulations are prosecuted. It is these furloughed inspectors whose job it is to investigate and prepare violations of the federal aviation regulations for prosecution by the FAA’s lawyers (who are also largely furloughed by the government shutdown). The US is also required by ICAO to conduct accident and incident investigations. Furloughing NTSB accident investigators could run afoul of this requirement.
Failure to comply with ICAO standards could have repercussions for US airlines. After all, the US has aggressively audited the Civil Aviation Authorities of ICAO member states. If a country’s CAA does not meet minimum standards, airline operations from that country to the US are limited and no new entrants are allowed. Among the areas looked at by the FAA in its audits of foreign countries is whether the CAAs have adequate infrastructure to insure proper compliance with safety requirements – that infrastructure includes adequate and properly qualified personnel. Calls to the FAA for comment were not returned."

A clean bill would pass the House right now, since 19 moderate republicans support it. There are 218 votes now.
But Boehner is afraid to use democrats to pass it because he would probably lose his speakership.
He's basically shutting down the government to keep his job as speaker

This isn't ending until Oct 17th. That's when the bigger crisis of the debt ceiling will force these idiots into a deal. The rethuglicans think they can force some reform by holding out for the debt ceiling. Either way I'm not getting paid till nov

Pretty much. Dude is weak minded, a political coward who has not one single ounce of testicular fortitude in his being. Boehner is the real life version of the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz.

Can someone explain to me why the rethuglicans don't want obamacare? What's wrong with folks having affordable healthcare? Why are the rethuglicans stubborn? WTF.
What his overlords, the Koch Brothers, say, goes.
I'm glad I have an emergency fund. Words can't describe how pissed I am. I also got furloughed this summer.
I think Libertarianism would be a great stance for our Capitalistic society to have... IF everyone had started on a level playing field in America.
Because that isn't, not ever has been the case, Libertarianism as a structure tends to weaken the undeservedly downtrodden. But I feel you on a lot of the core values...
