The essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government.

There's still a representative government bound by a Constitution that limits the new laws. Hence, not anarchy.
A representative government, bound by a constitution - that sounds familiar. How is that any different then our current representative government, bound by our current constitution?
The piles of extra laws and spending they pass every year, the countless agencies, bureaucracy, lobbying, etc
How does libertarianism stop these extra laws, spending and bureaucracy? Going back to my original question... Who says what laws are extra, what to not spend money on and what bureaucracy to eliminate?
This is where the philosophy of keeping a small government comes in. There needs to be a general end to the "there oughtta be a law" mindset as well as taking advantage of our system and having the localized government govern more than the Federal government.
So the difference between our current situation and a libertarian society is the mindset of humanity? It is just a utopian pipe dream.

It’s all about managing agency costs

Good government is good, but government is also self interested

Good job that Trump is not self interested.

It's weird that you'd vote against your beliefs.

Is it because of the beeg pikchur?
