Typically they argue the government is the cause of the problems (which is frequently correct) and the solution is to remove regulations that create the inefficiencies (which rarely goes to plan and frequently involves enriching them).

It's clownish just for different reasons than the meme suggests.

Their solution to an inefficient fly swatter is to get rid of it, spread honey over every surface, and offer to sell their services as an exterminator.

Government is only part of the problem. When they fail to see the ruling class behind it, they don't get too far.
