I'm no expert on libertarian policy, but I dabble, and I can't imagine they through a lot of support behind increasing funding to social welfare programs.

There are different types of Libertarianism. I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative (really, fiscally responsible), but not as fiscally conservative as most Republicans I know. I don't have a problem with social programs that are effective, but I do have a problem with government officials favoring personal friends over those who are truly in need and I have a problem with mismanagement of funds.
ETA: Libertarian candidates are generally moderate and don't call for the entire deconstruction of our system.
