I love the way Friedman says “why”
This problem is very big in canada we have free health care.
@bombkangaroo +1 bravo
@kaziqbal
When one understands and can articulate the truth it should come quickly, as there is no alternative to consider. That’s the beauty of his message, it can be spoken with eloquence, haste and brevity, because it is objectively true. It needs no dressing up, no weasel words, and no sound-bytes inserted in order to sound good.
Milton Friedman is right as usual. The media is controlled by big gov’t corporate lobbiest now more than ever. The media then sells the American people that war is right as long as it is for humanitarian reasons and freedom! Where is war ever justified it the bible? I can tell you it is not but the Christians buy lies more than anyone. It’s all about money and deception. Wars buy guns and money buys politicians who want to get re-elected. Media also gets monopoly control in the process.
@periechontology he would go to jail. he is harming other people and while maybe not directly involved in the bestiality promoting the harming of animals. that is against the law. people try to make the case that friedman is against rule of law which he is not. he is against coersion by government. in the example you have provided the children and animals would need to be considered, and harm is clearly being done to them.
Milton Friedman has such a sweet way of speaking.
Are you not praising the great leader?
@periechontology Then he wouldn’t be a billionaire for very long
What happens if an eccentric billionaire decides to air acts of necrophilia and bestiality on saturday morning when children turn on the tv to watch catoons.
The still at 5:07 is fantastic.
So true. Even a great many economists are unaware of the debate that took place when the decision to use GDP (or GNP) as a measure about whether the government outlay should be considered. Not only do the resources to fund government necessarily come from the other components, but it is inherently less efficient than those other sources and, because it is not subjected to the market, there is no pricing mechanism to value it (hence the bogus figures the Soviets published for decades).
I love how Dr. Friedman responds so fast and so eloquently
I told you the first civilization to print was not whom you claim. But its not the point. The point is when youre proven wrong you ignore it. Your obtuse in that way. But still entertaining.
@FletchforFreedom
“The ‘G’ component should never be included if you wish to understand real economic trends (even Keynesians concede this generally).”
It makes sense if you think about it. As the ‘G’ has to come out of either Investment, or Consumer Spending.
I’m reminded me Harry Hazlitt’s Economics In One Lesson, where he calls this the “Broken Window Fallacy”.
@pensword5 “OK, I approve of your ignorance”-You just admit that i was right all the time and then you say im ignorant for some reson. Do you even know what the word means?
@FletchforFreedom “Your source is nonsense. Using standard GDP”-Mind giving me some exact data? Like what the growth was in percentages? As i said if you have information and can prove me wrong, please do so. Also if you can provide me with information considering US GDP prior the 1920s that would be really nice.
The sumerians were writing and printing using cylinders in 3200 bc. Cuneiform.
And its OK, I approve of your ignorance. I think your funny.
Before moving on look up the article “The Great Depression of 1946″ to give a more credible picture or read any of the following works: “A Monetary History of the United States”, “America’s Great Depression”, “FDR’s Folly”, “The Forgotten Man”. That should get you started (if not sufficient go through the underlying research in the footnotes.
I have no idea what your source is. I CAN say that it is not the NBER, BEA or BLS – the official statistics of the US.
I’m done.
Your source is nonsense. Using standard GDP data it was faster in the early 1870s, the mid 1900s and in the run up to WWI. Still, economists understand the problems with GDP data (which, if used in the raw manner you suggest means that the US economy suffered a devastating depression in 1946 (which clearly never happened). The “G” component should never be included if you wish to understand real economic trends (even Keynesians concede this generally).

@pensword5 “Dont you miss chairman mao?!”-I don’t support communism nor socialism, but i also don’t approve of narrow minded ignorance you show here.
@pensword5 “came up with anything signifigant”-LEARN TO READ, i said can you give me one example of something that USA invented of EQUAL significance. Is your schooling system really that bad?
” And our standard of living sucks”-Quote me where i say that, you seem to lack eyes in your head.
“and writing came frirst in the sumer”-”Woodblock printing: The earliest specimen of woodblock printing a single-sheet dharani sutra in Sanskrit that was printed on hemp paper between 650 and 670 AD”
@FletchforFreedom Which research? You can probably name it, considering how sure you are of it. Unlike you im open to new information.
“because your claim is complete nonsense”-I looked it up and i confirmed that I’m correct. If you have any sources which say anything else you are welcome to present them.
@pensword5
OK. I was mainly replying to the last bit in the ()’s where you mentioned him.
And you’re welcome.
@vspqbd He seemed well intentioned, but no single figure can have that kind of control without signifigant unforeseen consequenses. (which is kinda my point) But thanks for the warning
