If libertarians can't generate a populist movement now, they'll wander through the wilderness for 75 years until the next crisis arrives. The Internet is helping to spread ideas, but there's almost nothing in the mainstream.
The public believes government must intervene, and for libertarians that means the debate is over.
The Cato petition was a nice start, but a lot more is required.
If/when the economic situation continues to deteriorate into a depression, eyes will hopefully be opened to the fact that government intervention did nothing but hurt the economy. Every American alive now has lived in a system that is supposed to tend to your every need. Dependence on the government is now the standard. It's going to take something drastic to bring the realities of our current situation to light for the majority.
