The Liberty Score is a rating system assessing how closely an individual’s views align with core Libertarian principles. Scores are based on a 0-100 scale, with 100 representing a fully Libertarian position and 0 representing complete opposition to Libertarian values. The grading criteria include:

  1. Personal Freedom (25 points): Support for individual rights in personal choices, including medical freedom, privacy, and bodily autonomy.
  2. Economic Freedom (25 points): Advocacy for a free-market economy, low taxation, and minimal government interference in business.
  3. Limited Government (25 points): Commitment to reducing the size and scope of government, limiting regulatory power, and upholding states’ rights.
  4. Non-Intervention (25 points): Opposition to unnecessary foreign entanglements, support for a non-interventionist foreign policy, and minimal military presence abroad.

Each category will be scored, then averaged to form the individual’s overall Liberty Score, providing a clear snapshot of their alignment with Libertarian ideals. Grades are provided by AI

Frank Bisignano

Social Security Administration commissioner:
Status: Confirmed by Campaign
Liberty Score: 45
Warhawk Status: Neutral

Liberty Score Assessment:

  • Personal Freedom (10/25): Frank Bisignano’s career in the private sector, notably as CEO of Fiserv, provides limited insight into his positions on civil liberties and personal freedoms. There is insufficient public information to assess his alignment with Libertarian values in this area.

  • Economic Freedom (15/25): As a business executive, Bisignano has demonstrated support for free-market principles and innovation within the financial technology sector. However, his role as Commissioner of the Social Security Administration would involve managing a significant government program, which may not directly align with Libertarian ideals of minimal government intervention in economic affairs.

  • Limited Government (10/25): Bisignano’s lack of prior government experience suggests a potential for bringing private-sector efficiency to a federal agency. However, his willingness to lead a major government program indicates acceptance of substantial government roles in social welfare, which contrasts with Libertarian preferences for limited government.

  • Non-Intervention (10/25): There is no available information on Bisignano’s views regarding foreign policy or military intervention, making it difficult to assess his stance on non-interventionist principles.
