Mostly libertarian, lean right, but not on environment and gun issues.

Generally, at least in America, I think the gov't is incredibly inefficient and only makes things worse/cost more. For instance, the health care debate. Both republicans and democrats are arguing about how much the govt should cover but not addressing the true issue - how overpriced health care is in america compared to the rest of the world. I wouldn't be against standard health care but not at the costs the gov't raises it to.

Healthcare is cheaper in other countries because they gov't enforces it to be. You pay more for healthcare because it's a for-profit business in the US. 

I can't speak to what other countries do, but in America they do a terrible job, if they do any at all, of regulating prices in anything they control.  Health Care costs were a small percentage of what it was before medicare came around, at which time everything skyrocketed.  Our gov't getting involved in anything raises costs.
