And that is exactly what they're doing.
This is a fine example of why I say that even the most fiscally conservative libertarians need to promote social spending.
There is no question of whether the federal government is going to balloon the deficit or not - it is. True fiscal conservatism is not going to happen.
The government is going to spend as much money as it can get away with no matter what. So the only meaningful question is who's going to benefit from that spending.
And there are really only two options - ordinary people or rich people. The proletariat or the bourgeoisie.
If you oppose social spending, all you're doing is making it so that the government can and will spend all of that money to benefit rich people instead.
And it really is just that simple.
