Milton Friedman drills Pepe a new one

Tecumseh said...: Hadn't seen Friedman talk in a long time -- he surely was sharp. And boy, did he leave that dimwit archetypal bleeding heart, Phil Donahue, wondering whatever happened to him.; 2/08/2009 10:27 PM
Tecumseh said...: More: The president should read the transcript of the third presidential debate. He claimed his program represented “a net spending cut.” He called himself “a strong proponent of pay-as-you-go. Every dollar that I’ve proposed, I’ve proposed an additional cut so that it matches.” He added, “We need to eliminate a whole host of programs that don’t work.”

Yeah, sure. Except for Pepe, who believed this taqqiya?; 2/08/2009 10:41 PM

My Frontier Thesis said...: ...and what I mean by that is no civilization remains civilized without checks and balances. I don't want to live in a purely government-controlled society anymore than I want to live in one that believes in full-throttle, conscience-less Darwinian Capitalism. We need to return to the ethics of Adam Smith, and perhaps have greater turn-over with the bureaucratic machine: more people moving in and out, doing what they do, putting in their public service, and then moving on. But that's just like my opinion, man.; 2/08/2009 11:59 PM
Tecumseh said...: Sounds all mamby-pamby. But what does Madoff-style thievery have to do with all this? How do you prevent scamming and running the economy into the ground, with nice hopey/changey words?; 2/09/2009 1:09 AM
Tecumseh said...: Case in point: The Illinois pension plan is $50 billion in the hole. Who's gonna dig them out of that hole? And, California is in even worse shape. I guess the Feds will just keep cranking out the printing presses, and throw Monopoly money around.; 2/09/2009 1:16 AM
My Frontier Thesis said...: I dunno Tecumseh: sounds like you got all the answers.; 2/10/2009 1:53 AM
