Odd.What makes you think he is particularly libertarian?
In 1835, Jackson managed to reduce the federal debt to only $40,745,00.98, the lowest it has been since the first fiscal year of 1791.
When Jackson became President, he implemented the theory of rotation in office, declaring it "a leading principle in the republican creed." He believed that rotation in office would prevent the development of a corrupt bureaucracy
Jackson opposed the national bank concept on ideological grounds.
(Kinda like Ron Paul)
He was also opposed to paper money.
(Ironic considering he's on the twenty dollar bill)
