He is a typical Tea Bagger...he wants cuts to every government program except one's he benifits from.

The only logic you can gleem from those types is that they do not have any.

That is wtf was wrong with Milton Friedmans BS, he wanted government cut except wtf he thought was needed. Largely a government that helped a few rape the rest. Check out wtf his theory did in Chile.

After the coup and the death of Allende, Pinochet and his Chicago Boys did their best to dismantle Chile’s public sphere, auctioning off state enterprises and slashing financial and trade regulations. Enormous wealth was created in this period but at a terrible cost: by the early eighties, Pinochet’s Friedman-prescribed policies had caused rapid de-industrialization, a ten-fold increase in unemployment and an explosion of distinctly unstable shantytowns. They also led to a crisis of corruption and debt so severe that, in 1982, Pinochet was forced to fire his key Chicago Boy advisors and nationalize several of the large deregulated financial institutions. (Sound familiar?)

Milton Friedman has been discredited long before he was discredited in 2008 with the market meltdown.

http://thewordenreport.blogspot.com/...ry-market.html

Analysis:
Milton Friedman believed that government regulation keeps markets from being efficient; he assumed that the market mechanism is capable of regulating itself. That increasing uncertainty and risk might reach a point that a market mechanism would freeze up, or collapse, rather than simply incorporate the increased volatility through pricing is a point extrinsic to the efficient market thesis. That theory submits that markets tend toward equilibrium, rather than spiraling out of control.
Testifying before Congress after the credit crisis of 2008, Alan Greenspan was asked by Henry Waxman (D-Calif) whether the government-averted credit-market collapse had prompted any revision of the retired Fed Chairman’s economic paradigm. Greenspan admitted to a flaw in the ointment of self-regulatory market theory. In spite of 40 years of evidence to the contrary, official Washington’s font of economic wisdom had drawn a blank.
Lest the human mind be left without an operative paradigm by which one can make sense of the world, by mid June 2011, Greenspan had mentally reduced the fly in the ointment to a mere footnote. Asked by Charlie Rose on The Charlie Rose Show what how the crisis had changed his understanding of the market mechanism and economics, Greenspan admitted his surprise that bank CEOs do not always operate their banks so as to keep them solvent. This is how the financial crisis of 2008 had changed his view of the market mechanism after all. Of course, such a fault could be attributed to distortive government regulation (e.g. regulation Q limiting deposit interest) rather than to some inherent weakness in the market mechanism being able to regulate itself.
Greenspan had backtracked; he had unlearned his lesson much like an alcoholic “forgets” that he or she has admitted to having a drinking problem. Faced with a fundamental flaw in a paradigm on which it relies, the human mind can succumb to retreating to the safety of denial. In his Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn tells us that it can be a generation before the downfall of a reigning paradigm is finally recognized, after the current proselytizers have passed and the people to come, without a vested interest in the prevailing paradigm, have taken their place. Perhaps it is only the human mind writ large (i.e, intergenerational) that advances, or really learns.
Lest we have to wait for the dead to bury themselves, we can affirm and acknowledge right now that the market-mechanism is not inherently self-regulating, and that this flaw is not caused by government regulation. Instead, markets can collapse—just as a human being freezes up from fear when risk and uncertainty hit a certain threshold—only to be revived by governmental intervention.

It's painful to discover that someone you knew as a decented-hearted but easily misdirected little fella has completely spiraled down the abyss to the dark side.

Dealing with people like Marshall is gutter posting I will admit. The problem as I see it is folks like you. Folks who stand by silently as he steps over the line time and time again. As long as your side continues to sit on your hands when he posts over the top crap ( by that, I mean bringing a young lady's profession into the conversation)....you will continue to see me post with the respect you deserve. Which is in fact none.

You post explains perfectly why your current profession is more appropriate for you than economist.....do you know what a book is? Originally Posted by Marshall

I've pointed out that between 1960 and 2008, tax revenues decreased 6 times in those 48 years from one year to the next. Once under Nixon, once under Reagan (cut taxes), and 4 times under Bush (cut taxes). I've sourced it here.

Under no other President in that time period did they decrease from one year to the next even once. Not one. Not even under Carter.

You can post all the 2 million word pieces of propaganda you want, it's not going to change that simple fact.

I hope they do read it. Then they'll see that your attempts to refute my point above were that the Bush tax cuts weren't enacted until 2003 (a lie) and when confronted with that, you decided to rely on the fact that the 2001 cuts were "phased in".

A lie and a dodge. The Conservative Way.

You do understand that Milton was a so called free market guy, except when markets were collapsing, then he wanted government intervention. His monetary policy all these years was in fact government intervention.

Common sense proves him wrong every day.

People like him are big business whores, they advocate free market principials on one hand and want the backing of American taxpayers on the other. That you are to blind to see actions taken over theory expoused to actually understand wtf is/has gone on.

Now go do what you are really good at which is to pick on women who post in these forums career choices, it makes as much sense as your welfare queen self who has sucked at the government tit, who doesn't want his benefits touched............ defending Milton Freidman.

To summarize, you come on a hooker board and downgrade the women's profession and then defend Milton Freidman who is for cutting the exact same programs that you sucked from.

You get away with such hypocrisy , not because my side does not call you out on it but because people of you political slant, like nevergivesitathought say nothing. Shame on my fellow gents to the right for giving credence to your delivery while trying to judge mine. I will not turn the other cheek to folks such as you, I will expose you for the hypocrite that you are and will never turn the other cheek to folks like you.
